Okay... so how do you guys do thanksgiving? Back in the states there are so many options and places to go and I've always welcomed a few extra people... but this year I'm looking at cooking for 30 or more. Now, my policy has always been to not refuse someone who requests, or to offer someone who is alone a place at our table, but it's never been a problem. Even when my family gets together there's less than 25 people always and never at my house. I *thought* it was going to be me and two other friends and their families for a total of 14 including my ayi. Then I invited 2 more so 16. Then one of the other friends invited a woman whose husband is out of the country for the holiday and I thought that was great. 17. Then she told me she invited another friend whose husband is out of the country.... and their 4 children. So, 23. Then my friend across the street feels left out so she and her 4 kids and husband may come by but she'd be cooking at her house and bringing it over. So now 29. If I invite my ayi's husband or our driver I'm over 30. And my BEST girlfriend and her family here I haven't even spoke to about this and she has 4 kids as well. And another family down the street would be 4 more and I would love to invite the german family we're close with as they'll never have another chance to see a thanksgiving... and honestly I'd rather share the holiday with my chinese friends for that reason but where do I draw the line? lol
I've never had this issue before... anyway, what sort of parameters do you set for your turkey celebration?
