Nope, those are days to be with family and cook, in my family the tradition is that we all cook something and do a sort of potluck but with a menu already set up, we make the menu and every family offers to cook and bring something from the menu that way nobody gets stuck in the kitchen and we all enjoy and have a nice time.  For Christmas we eat and celebrate in family on December 24th and make enough food so everybody can take home and eat the next day with minimum cooking.

Very undecided this year. I want to cook but at the same time want to kick back and relax for the holidays.

We usually just stay home and cook a nice meal.

No, we never went out on holidays.  I cook the dinner and have family and friends over.

It's been a few years since I "celebrated" either holiday, so for me there is neither cooking nor going out to eat. Thanksgiving and Christmas are pretty much like any other day to me.

My family eats dinner on those days cooked by people in the family.

No we have meals with the family for both those holidays, I am blessed to have great cooks in the family

No, we don't go out, but we order take-out dinners. Hubby says why cook a big meal for just the two of us.  This way hubby gets his ham and I get my turkey. We order from a local restaurant and their dinners are fantastic and not very expensive. There are restaurants we could go for free dinners but we like the peace and quiet of being at home.

For over 20 years, I would cook dinner for 15 people or more every Thanksgiving and Christmas, making turkey, ham, potato filling, mashed potatoes, stuffing, brussel sprouts, corn, green beans, and have pumpkin, apple, and cherry pies for desert.  It got to be too much for me when I was also taking care of my mom, so I had to stop.

I don't like to eat at restaurant during these holidays. I prefer spending the time at a friend's house or  family members.

No we never go out to eat for Thanksgiving or Christmas. At Thanksgiving, my older daughter usually takes charge and makes a big meal with turkey and stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoe, broccoli or sting beans and a salad with pies and ice cream for dessert. At Christmas time we usually buy a smoked ham and everyone chips in and brings sides and desserts. Both meals are usually a lot of fun and very tasty too.
