Re: QOTD
Usually my dad. My immediate family doesn't live near any extended family. We're flying home for it this year, and I'm super excited for his cooking. Thanksgiving at our house is very low key. Two years ago we had a Wii bowling tournament after dinner.
DH's grandma.
Last year, however, we hosted it for my family because my step-dad was in the hospital and we didn't want my mom staying at the hospital all day. I'm pretty sure that DH's grandma still hasn't forgiven us for that which I think is completely crazy because of the 9 Thanksgiving dinners that we spent together since we started dating, this was the first one that we spent with my family. Vent over.
I'm also not sure what we'll be doing this year either.
The past few years DH and I have traveled to both families on different weekends. My family we go to on Thanksgiving since my parents still work and his family on the weekend since they are retired. They live very far apart 4.5 hours it's a very long drive.
Last year we spent Thanksgiving with his family because it was the first year his Grandma had past away. I think that will have started the precedent that we alternate Thanksgiving between families and go to my parents this Thanksgiving. All that driving sucks.
We started out by trying to do both families and it got to be too much. Then we started to try alternating, and that got annoying, too. Now, we've talked with DH's family and are doing Thanksgiving at our house, then Christmas Eve at BIL's and Christmas at IL's. Hopefully it will work and not be a complete disaster. I have to say, the holidays we spend just at home are so much better. I prefer to eat in my PJs and watch football and be done with socializing early.
Also, the IL's are awful cooks, so I can't wait to show them how turkey dinner is supposed to taste. Seasoning is our friend
My mom hosts. It's usually my mom, my grandparents, my uncle & aunt, my sister, mom's gf, mom's gf's son & DIL and they're 4 kids, DH and I.
DH's parents are coming down this year to have Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's. I love that b/c it means we don't need to alternate holidays or drive to both places. His parents are about 3 hours away and my mom is in town.
