[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious about these families. What would happen if you called dibs on hosting next year?

I feel like our family has the opposite problem. [b]Hosting is a hot potato; no one wants to do it.[/b] [/quote]

Same here.  My parents are deceased and my DH has one parent all the way across the country.  My siblings usually go their in-laws for thanksgiving.  This year, one of them suggested via text that we all get together and everyone enthusiastically agreed.  I asked where? and there has been silence ever since, LOL.  I'll volunteer if no one else does but I'm hoping someone else caves first.  They are both better cooks and one has a much better house for hosting.  [/quote]

OP here- could you meet at a third party location? Like rent a house in that is equidistant to all parties?[/quote]
Not sure what you mean?  In theory we could rent a house middle of the country for us to go to and his mom to go to, but it would add an awful lot of cost and trouble and cause both parties to get on a plan, just to avoid a longer plane ride for one party.  We just don't think think it's worth it for the few days and apparently his mom feels the same way because she's never come here.  My siblings and I live close together; it wouldn't make sense to rent a house.  [/quote]
