Same as every other thanksgiving. Staying home with immediate family only. Years ago we stopped doing any kind of holidays with family when my mother in law refused to keep celebrations safe for my food allergic child. She was only 4 or 5 at the time and I had to watch her like a hawk or someone would inevitably offer her something that could kill her. Along with watching my other two because my husband would be busy celebrating with his family. I hated holidays back then. It would have been fine if we could just bring our own food, but they didn't even provide a space for my kids to eat their meal. How fun for a 4/5 yr old to eat standing up. Not to mention my two younger kids. So we stopped going and at first I was sure they would make it safer but they apparently didn't mind us not being there. I LOVE staying home. No pressure, no stress. Love it.
