We normally skip the turkey and do ham instead. My dad for years and years always got a 24# turkey on Wed. afternoon at work and no way to thaw it out in time so we normally cut it in half and cooked our half for christmas and gave the other half to my grandmother to cook whenever.

Pork loin on the grill this year. We've done steaks in the past. Turkey for three is pretty stupid.

We're going to a buffet on Thanksgiving, will probably do the turkey for Christmas. It's a lot for just 4 people too. |

Mom found a local Chinese restaurant in her neighborhood (Queens, NY) last year that had a Thanksgiving special... in house only, whole lobster, cooked any way you wish for $9.99. We ordered 3, along with some Peking duck and dungeness crab. Hope they run that special again this year... much rather have lobster than turkey or ham.

Turkey (one smoked, two fried,) ham, crown roast of lamb, mashed potatos, macaroni and cheese, cranberry sauce, cornbread, several varieties of dressing, pecan pie, sauteed mushrooms, greenbean casserole, collards, baked squash, loads and loads of wine, beer, garlic bread, salad, and I'm sure I've missed something.
(This is us––-my parents live in SC and are vegetarians, though they will be hosting my big sis and her husband and kids who eat meat and are heading there from MS, along with my vegetarian and communist little sister and her husband and kids, who also live in SC. I have no inlaws, really, barring a few cousins of the wife's, one of whom lives in Australia, one in San Francisco, and one in D.C.) |

Quoted: Quoted: Usual holiday fare/comfort food at my parents' house. The in-laws usually go out for Chinese. In laws Jewish ? No, but over the years all of their kids have fallen into a routine of having "actual" Thanksgiving (Thursday) with the spouses' families, so they go out and eat Chinese and my MIL doesn't feel like she has to fix special food just for the two of them. Then we all get together with them and have a belated Thanksgiving dinner (all the usual foods) on the Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving. We all do sort of the reverse for Christmas. It works out fairly well for everyone involved. This will be the first holiday season since my youngest SIL got divorced, so that could throw a monkey wrench into things... we'll see. |

We are celebrating Thanksgiving day with the in-laws, and then are going to my parents for the weekend. Probably not any turkey either place, which is fine with me, because I don't really like turkey.

Same here, we have both and probably eat far more ham than turkey, but we still feel like we have to have some turkey just on principle. Ben Franklin approves of this post.  |

I do the cooking, because I do it right. Besides, we have two babies in the house, so everyone travels to us now.
This year is: Mesquite smoked turkey, pre-brined in a cranberry, herb, and pale ale solution Chipotle mashed sweet potatoes Twice-baked Russets, salt-rolled with slab bacon and sharp 2-year cheddar Sauteed carrots finished in walnut butter Blanched asparagus with shaved white cheddar Sourdough stuffing with herbs and aromatics Paired with more beer than you can handle. |

SIL has some awesome family recipes that she only makes at Thanksgiving and Christmas so everyone always looks forward to them. They will do the traditional turkey as well.
I'm going to smoke a brisket like I did last year. It was a hit and the first thing that was completely gone. |

It depends who's house we're at. Sometimes, we'll have something unusual like a pea casserole. Other times, we'll have animated argument, with screaming, crying and hurt feeling for dessert.
Like I said, it depends who's hosting, and who's invited.
