[quote=Anonymous]Thankfully, we are immigrants and TG and Christmas for us is secular holidays that we celebrate because of our kids.

Right now kids come because they are in late teens and early 20s in college. They are single and they are newly fledged. They still look to us for some nurturing.

Kids will continue coming for holidays even when they get married if a) they live close by, b) they don't want to host, c) our house is comfortable and welcoming to them and their kids, d) it does not clash with their IL hosting, f) they do not have other plans and f) it is easy and less stress for them.

Reading all the threads here, I feel that we need to tamper our expectations and be flexible.  What is the end goal anyways? To have some pleasant family time, right?  It can happen without TG or Christmas also.  We just need to stop putting that pressure on ourselves and our kids.

When I will get too old to cook, I will just order Chinese food.  Everyone can have a good time.
