[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One relative hosts, provides the turkey, apps and some drinks. Others bring a side and a dessert. No one is mad or stressed. The host rotates year to year. This is how it is for both sides of our family. It’s not hard or anger-inducing. Men and women both help. What’s the issue?[/quote]

That’s how I grew up, when I lived in a place where my furthest away relative was 35 minutes.

Now. We live 3000 miles from one side and 400 from the other. So things aren’t just so easy peasy as bring a side and some wine when it involves flying across the country where there’s no one to rotate hosting with because that side of our family has no branches, just a tree trunk.

So it is hard and anger inducing when on top of having to be the host and serve and cook the whole meal because no one’s bringing anything from 3000 miles away, you get to add the fun of having people overnight for a week because traveling to the east for any shorter length of time is “not worth it.” [/quote]
