I have always loved the idea of what starryeyes said she might do -- host Thanksgiving for all of the "misfits" - and I did that a couple of times many years ago and it was wonderful fun. I obviously can't do that this year, but if I ever have another year where the family isn't gathering, I'm going to do that again. Or, if the ex is FINALLY out by then, maybe I'll do a Festivus dinner on the 25th for the "misfits"!
