please pass the cranberry sauce

the first three of our thanksgiving guests arrive this evening: my youngest brother and his twin sister along with her dog. we are going to have a total of 5 house guests and at least 11 people for thanksgiving dinner (room for one more! first come first served!). i love making thanksgiving dinner. thanksgiving is my favorite holiday in general. i enjoy it so much that i caused some trouble with jason's family because i was unwilling to go to their place for dinner. we invited them to eat with us but they feel they have seniority.
the thing is, i've done thanksgiving with them twice. once at disneyworld (we ate dinner, just the 5 of us at some restaurant - no cranberry sauce or anything). the other time was at their house but they didn't squeeze all of us together. instead they put the food out on a buffet, half of it was canned (e.g. gravy from a jar and instant mashed potato) and had separate tables set up in various rooms. jason and i sat with his grandparents in the dining room. I insist on squeezing everyone around the table and having the food on the table. Or, i put two tables next to one another. in my mind, it really isn't thanksgiving if you aren't having lively dinner conversation punctuated by requests to "pass the squash" and queries as to "how much dark meat is left?"
