Every year we invite several of our friends to Thanksgiving dinner. This is one holiday that we really love and look forward to. We have been doing the Thanksgiving dinner party for the last 7 years except the year that my daughter was born.
It is a major deal in our household. We move all the furniture off of our living room and replace them with tables. We usually ask some of our friends to bring chairs. It seems though we have no issues finding tables in my house. This year, we had 24 adults and 17 kids. Kids don't get to sit with the parents but we somehow manage.
I make two giant turkeys (in bags), three side dishes and one desert. This year, I have made sauteed leeks in olive oil, bean salad, red cabbage salad, and pumpkin cheesecake. Everyone brings a dish or a bottle of wine. Some of the other items were, rice with orzo pasta, stuffed grape leafs and eggplants, lima beans, meat stuffed pastry, chicken salad, barley salad, etc.
At the end, we had lots of good food and great company.
