[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We host Fauxgiving the Sunday before Thanksgiving. People dress up a little for it. Casual skirts, no ties, etc. You're welcome to come to our shindig - we'll let you drink.[/quote]

This.  I missed "my" thanksgiving as well when we went to in-laws, so we did our own beforehand.  all the traditions that I loved, and none of those that felt strange.  Doing it before gets it out of your system, and you really can make the thanksgiving visit just dinner & it's easier to enjoy [/quote]

I really like this idea. Growing up my parents attended an "Orphans Thanksgiving" the weekend before Thanksgiving every year. It was a potluck with my dad's old coworkers that started when most of them were young, single, and couldn't fly home for Thanksgiving. I think it is still going strong more than four decades later. Start something similar with your closest friends in DC. You will get to share traditions, be surrounded by love, etc. Might make it easier to experience Thanksgiving as something completely different with the in-laws.[/quote]
