For over 50 years we have had Thanksgiving at the in-laws. They have never come to our house - not one time. I think I have figured out why. First, they don’t enjoy driving several hours as much as I do. And, if they came to my house, they would be the ones that would have to go home.
Next is the food. If we cooked, the turkey would taste like turkey and there would be a bowl of mashed potatoes on the table. This year, neither my financial controller nor number one daughter were allowed to bake the pies. That’s right, I had no pecan pie for Thanksgiving.
Last but not least, they know that I will tire of the whole event rather quickly and leave.
For Christmas I’m taking my own food and staying for a month.
