[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never ever heard of anyone dressing up for Thanksgiving.

If it was important to her, she should have let you know beforehand. [/quote]

Never heard of dressing up for Thanksgiving. Is this a thing where you live?

No, [b]where I'm from in small-town midwest it's casual. [/b]This was in a DC suburb. [/quote]

This is so closed minded and exactly the type of statement that makes people hate flyover country.  Where you are FROM is not how things ARE in the entire WORLD.  Can't you see that?  Isn't it reasonable to you that people would dress up for special occasions, even if your little podunk family doesn't do it? [/quote]

He's not being closed minded! His girlfriend is by assuming he would know to dress up and not letting him know, and now punishing him for it. He's not saying that his family's way is the right way, just that he's puzzled that his girlfriend assumed he would know this and is now mad at him about it. Which is completely understandable.

My family (in Maryland, but not DC suburbs) is completely casual. Depending on who is hosting and how many people are around for dinner, we might not even all be around a table really. My in laws in the DC suburbs, who are not only more formal, but also have fewer people they host and a larger home, dress more nicely, but jackets and ties would have been a lot even for them.[/quote]
