Thanksgiving

[Tink]

For many years dhs' family has had Thanksgiving at his brothers house and celebrated Christmas at the same time because 3 of the 5 siblings live a distance away and winter driving in our part of the country can be challenging at best.

This year we'd planned to do the same, but dh is so angry at his brother that he's decided we're not going. There's a long history of serious problems in the family, that started 50+ yrs ago... so it's nothing new really, but has reached a boiling point. It's actually a relief for all of us since it's not a lot of fun to go when you only see these people once a year and there's always tension in the air. My feeling on it is that it's one less obligation to worry about.

So we will be having Thanksgiving at home with our own kids this year. Katie plans to cook for us this year, so that should be fun.
