[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP can you really never ever travel on thanksgiving? Maybe I missed it on a previous page...also, you absolutely positively a hundred times over NEED TO HOST! The way I get what I want in life is by joyfully, exuberantly announcing my plans as though they are obviously the best thing for everyone involved. No one will have the heart to question you. I think you're screwed for this year, but around September of next year, you say to DH: "Guess what?!? My family is going to try to come to our place for thanksgiving this year!!!" You start planning (remember with exuberance and no hesitation). In-laws can choose to attend or not. Things might "fall through" with your family's travel plans ;-) but you will still host. Win. Good luck. [/quote]

No, due to work we can't take off the day before Thanksgiving or the day after. Therefore we can't fly to my parents. DH's parents are 5 hours away, so that's why we go every year. We have begged and begged to host, but no one will travel to see us. Our friends are all with their extended families or else we would love to have it with friends. [/quote]
