Both sides. My husband and I will celebrate our 48th Thanksgiving together. Just us and 2 old weiner dogs.

My husband is over the moon - no catering to other people. Kids don’t know yet. 😉

My advice? Does your town host a Thanksgiving feast? Volunteer and attend. We’ve done this twice and both times were great! Get something you love to eat - ummm a ribeye? Watch an old movie or football in your jammies.

God bless!
