[quote=Anonymous]We've spent most of the past decade alone on Thanksgiving after my parents died, my siblings won't visit, and my ILs were too infirm to travel (also not US-born, so not particularly into the holiday.) This time around we had a guest, a significant other of my college kid. I've been kind of a wreck about this and made WAY too much food. Two stuffings, four vegetables, sweet potato and mashed potato, deconstructed turkey, the list goes on. Kind of insane. I forgot to serve the gravy and the cranberry sauce. The three different breads and rolls went untouched. The SO has been a lovely guest and we had a really nice conversation over dinner. Not really a complaint here, I love this thread because being frustrated with your extended family is half the fun of a proper holiday. Enjoy every minute including the annoyances - I know it probably doesn't seem this way, but it's a billion times better than being lonely![/quote]
