Enjoy your family. We always invite the "familyless" from work to our home, but this year it seems it will be small, about 10 people.  |

Used to have anywhere from 13 to 35. This year there will be four. Our kids and g-kids are in NJ and we're in MN. Just be husband's sister and hubby. Last year-we were alone and ate out-just wasn't the same. It's the one big meal I really enjoy making. Enjoy your holiday.

Well my parents are in Florida, one sister in Vegas and a brother in West VA so its not going to be more than 8 people total this year. All three of my sons have jobs now and the only thing that could throw a monkee wrench in it is if they end up working.....Fingers Crossed!

I so envy you.It sounds like alot of work but yet fun/friendship as well.I miss that.In yrs past i cooked a bird with all the trimmings for just me & my cats.The most i have been with at thanksgiving ( family/friends ) was approx 15.As the yrs go on close friends & family pass on & it just gets tougher each time.Thats one reason i was in a 5 yr rut.My bro in law told me if i dont show up hes going to personally drive 7 miles to my home & drag me out of the house.So its best i just go plus i hope the watch the dallas cowboys lose.Happy holidays everyone & lets not forget our family & friends who have moved on & dont forget the egg nog.

Rather than spending the holidays alone there are churches that hold family style dinners-mainly for people who are alone and companionship is important at this time of year. Go to your sister's and enjoy (tho I picked the Cowboys in the football pool)!
