[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My small family (DH, me, toddler) decided not to travel to either family for Thanksgiving this year, and none of our local friends will be around for a "friendsgiving," so we're basically skipping the holiday.  Any ideas what to do for the day?  Our son is 21 months.  I love the idea of doing some volunteer work somewhere, but I think he's too little.[/quote]

Volunteering on Thanksgiving is more about you than those who need help. Organizations hate casual volunteers who perform on holidays.

Start your own Thanksgiving traditions but don't ignore the day if it's something you want your child to care about in the future.[/quote]

You're a family. Have a family Thanksgiving meal.[/quote]

Skipping turkey and mashed potatoes won't make us less of a family, but thanks!  Anyways, just looking for some fun ideas of how to spend the day.[/quote]

Why don't you ask your spouse? Perhaps they have some ideas, or they would be bummed NOT to have a family meal. 
Regardless, I think you just want attention for flouting tradition and "skipping Thanksgiving"  :roll: [/quote]

Not the OP, but what is your deal?  She stated in the OP that her family decided to skip the holiday and you've turned it into something she's forcing on her husband for attention?  Calm down.[/quote]
