I was one of the pps who dislikes the way Thanksgiving is celebrated. This is very true. Inlaws love their Thanksgiving traditions and think it's special. They love being with everyone also. It's just that the holiday is a complete 180 from how I celebrated growing up, none of my favorite foods are present (I've tried bringing them to the disdain of everyone else and was told things like pecan pie are not on their traditional menu) and it is super casual. I honestly get depressed and lonely about the holiday every single year. I would LOVE to celebrate with my extended family or even my parents who live with us, but they aren't invited. [/quote]

[b]PP, I think that you should have your own Thanksgiving, in addition to your in-laws' Thanksgiving. I mean that sincerely. Do your Thanksgiving the way you want to do it, even if it's just for your immediate family.[/quote][/b]

Never criticize another host.  It is awful decorum.[/quote]

She's not criticizing her host. She's going with the flow around them, and is lamenting a bit on an anonymous e-mail forum. THEY are exercizing awful decorum by now allowing her to start any new traditions or adding anything of herself to their celebration. She is a new member of their family, and they are not growing and being inclusive...they are expecting her to simply fall in line and be "assimilated."[/quote]

Agreed. And also - how rude of her ILs not to include PP's parents, who live with PP! [/quote]

Oh, I didn't even notice that they don't invite her parents when her parents LIVE with her! That is truly shocking. Yeah, no need to worry about "awful decorum" with those ILs. Truly terrible.[/quote]
