Very lucky that my sis and her family, both our parents (who have been divorced for over 30 years but are still great friends) and our grandmother all live in the Chicago area. We usually end up with a few random stragglers- friends or coworkers or neighbors who join us.
Every few years we go visit friends in Michigan but this year we are staying put. My mom doesn't cook (by choice), so we usually use her house as the gathering spot and the rest of us (including my dad and my stepmom) bring the food. I'm in charge of stuffing and a snack for football watching.
In an ironic twist, my mother is remodeling her kitchen (again, remember that this woman doesn't cook!) so we'll probably go to my sister's instead.
I LOVE Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday, hands down. And if anyone in the Chicago area needs a place to go for turkey day, PM me.
