[quote=Anonymous]I feel quite torn: I would like to start out own family traditions in our own (new) home and my DH really clings to going home to his parents/cousins. he is the oldest of the cousins, so is the first to get married, have kids, have a home of his own. I think that, eventually, this tradition of ALWAYS having the pressure to spend tgiving with Dh's family, the kids will disperse and pick and choose which holidays they spend together and which they spend with their spouse's family and then on their own.

I'm curious to know how your family resolves/sees this issue.

I am so eager to make my own thanksgiving traditions, to set my own table, to make my own turkey. And while we did this last year (had to stay in town due to a wedding), DH was absolutely miserable at not being with his family. It ended up being a terrible wknd b/c he walked around in a total funk.

(of note, my mother is more than happy to give up hosting in favor of any one of her kids hosting. And my siblings are both younger, but want to have tgiving at my house, so in that sense, I have it "easy")[/quote]
