@elizabeth, so weird i posted a response but it didn't show up so I am doing it again. i hope you have a great thanksgiving. i have spent several with friends' families and loved it. there is something comforting about seeing other families up close and knowing that every family has their issues.

you can totally work both gatherings. i would just be upfront about what your plans are so that you don't have to make an awkward exit. oh, and don't overdo it with the turkey at the first meal. save some room!

@stephanieinlex, Have a great Thanksgiving. I didn't read your cooking comment to be boastful. But I totally get the need to correct yourself. Sometimes I send tweets and have a mini-crisis over whether they will be misinterpreted. Oh, the perils of Social Media!

@elizabeth, I am spent a Thanksgiving, or two with friends families and always had a blast. There is something oddly comforting about seeing another's family up close and personal. Like maybe your family is not so crazy after all. At least that has been my impression

I would just be upfront with both friends about your plans so you don't feel awkward hopping from one meal to the next.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sad to say this year, I wont be spending it with my family. ( I live w/ them too) sad and awkward story as to why I wont spend the day w/ them. I wont reveal details on fb . And yet, I'm oh so grateful for friends who care, support and include me w/ their Thanksgiving gathering. Here's a different challenge, I told 2 different people I'd attend their gathering and want to go to both houses to spend time with people. Is that possible for one to do? Not sure when both people are having the meals.
Have a great time in California. how fun to travel : )

@Cindy That sounds awesome. I'm wondering what I would have you make for me. Hmmm….

My wife and I were married in November, so for the past 3 years we've traveled on the week of Thanksgiving to San Francisco, NY, and Boston.

We had a baby in March, so we will be sticking around Atlanta for a traditional Thanksgiving, but based on the last 3, it feels very non-traditional to us.

Enjoy your trip!
