[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639277, member: 1550"] GM, it's not different for us except I have more kids. I do not talk to my very, very, very small family-of-origin except for my 90 year old Dad (who is still sharp) and I doubt he can drive to join us for dinner. Yes, he can still drive, but doesn't like to. Until two years ago, though, he did drive up for Thanksgiving. He's coming from far if he does decide to come. I don't miss the uber-chaos of my family-of-origin either. I enjoy just being with my hub and kids. Ex is ok. WE do get along well. Julie is the one in charge. It is always at her house. She always does the cooking. Only she will give permission for us to buy Thanksgiving food. I am not going to take this away from her...she is a chef and a good one and Thanksgiving AND Christmas have always been HER thing. If she wants help, though, she has it. It is completely up to her. I am waiting for her to tell me or my ex if she wants to take a break this year. She certainly deserves one!!!! :) [/QUOTE]
