[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would ask all the people attending which they prefer - catered/premade thanksgiving or nontraditional meal. [/quote]

If you can’t be bothered to know preferences of your guests, you should not be hosting. [/quote]

OP here and I'm not hosting, that's the whole point. We're getting extended family together at a rental house in a city somewhat central to everyone in order to facilitate this birthday celebration. If I were actually hosting, this wouldn't really be an issue because we'd just make Thanksgiving dinner.

[b]I've asked what people want and I get noncommittal responses so I've decided I need to just do something practical that makes sense to me [/b]and let people deal with it.[/quote]

Good job OP! Way to have those boundaries! Make sure you note somewhere so that when Cheryl says "Oh it's really disappointing that we are having enchiladas when I was expecting turkey" you can pull up your chat with her that says "anything is fine with me!"

Sounds like everyone is just too busy or can't be bothered to organize, so you are doing it and guaranteed someone will have some snide remarks for you. Please report back![/quote]
