[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh DCUM has such high standards!

I would say if you’re not having turkey, gravy, some kind of potatoes, and at least [u]one[/u] other thanksgiving-y food (cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, or stuffing would all count), I would warn guests that it’s a non-traditional thanksgiving just because the traditional food is so important to some folks, give them a chance to decide on other plans.

There is no minimum! You can invite people over for a Thanksgiving dinner of Chinese takeout, and if you are fun and good company, sounds great! But yes, worthy of a heads up in case someone prefers a more traditional option.

You people make life so complex. I can’t imagine being invited to thanksgiving, being served turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, and a slice of pie, and judging the hosts as inadequate?? Because they dared leave off the cranberry sauce?? You folks are missing the point![/quote]

Fully agree.

If I were riding to the rescue for someone who wasn't going to have Thanksgiving otherwise (which is the only scenario in which I can imagine needing to do a bare minimum Thanksgiving), I can't imagine that not having cranberry sauce or whipped cream or only providing one kind of potato would make it Not Thanksgiving  [/quote]
