[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems that the baton for hosting Thanksgiving has been passed to me and I need to figure out how to make the long weekend a bit less stressful. Last year, DH and I hosted 15 family members (19 including us + our kids) - his parents, his aunt and uncle, my parents, my sister, BIL and their 3 kids and my brother, SIL and their 2 kids. While I really enjoyed having a big family thanksgiving dinner, the problem is that everyone lives a plane ride away...[/quote] 6 units flying in...does each rent a car? How do they get to/from your house? Same hotel? This is 15 people spending their waking hours at your house for 4.5 days. If it was a beach vacation and meeting at a beach from several rentals you'd have the beach but this is just your house. Get a "beach" equivalent for each non Thanksgiving day - zoo, museums, Kennedy Center. [/quote]
