[quote=Anonymous]Teach me how to be joyful with my in laws. What secrets do you all have for holidays with the inlaws? Thanksgiving is really hard for me because in laws traditions are so different than my family's. They eat different food, it's very informal, and it's all cooked before we arrive (Wednesday night). I get unbelievably homesick on Thanksgiving. I miss cooking in the kitchen with my family, eating normal Thanksgiving foods, getting dressed up and wine! I've tried over the years: to dress up like I usually would (makes me seem more like an outsider) to bring my favorite dishes from my family (actually weren't served last year! They were what we ate the day after) inviting everyone to my house (they won't come) I try to just pretend that Thanksgiving is just a normal visit with them, but I seriously miss Thanksgivings that I used to know. It's probably the loneliest day of the year for me. [/quote]
