do you go out for dinner on thanksgiving or christmas

[lmrbean]

No, we get together with other family - Thanksgiving is usually at my sister's, and Christmas is at my house.  We all contribute food so it's not too hard on any one person.  We usually have anywhere from 15-20 people.

Never have and haven't ever thought about it either. Maybe if I didn't have family around I might consider, but when I have family, we always celebrate together in a generally potluck style. Going out doesn't seem as intimate/touching.
