[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not ok if your SIL is having a tantrum about not having Thanksgiving with you. That said, can you try to be understanding of her perspective? She clearly enjoyed celebrating this holiday with you and your family and is understandably disappointed that this will not happen this year. From your wording that you are going to have "actual Thanksgiving" this year, clearly the last two years of get-togethers were not meaningful to you but perphaps be charitable to someone for whom it was.[/quote]

I wrote actual Thanksgiving, because I offered to cook a Thanksgiving meal and have them over later in the weekend, since she was so upset about her kids not getting Thanksgiving, and she told me that it's not "actually Thanksgiving" if it doesn't happen on Thursday.

So, comparing Thursday, which is apparently "actual Thanksgiving" to other days.[/quote]

That was nice of you. We do holidays on different days all the time in our family. Who cares if it's on that exact day? Kids certainly don't. [/quote]
