I've had Thanksgiving in a restaurant a couple of times, and while it seems deeply sacriligious to my highly traditional self, my mother absolutely loves it. Other people cook, other people clean up, and it's usually all-you-can-eat. Bonnie, if you decide to go out for Thanksgiving, I'd strongly suggest making reservations, because (here, at least) a lot more people go that route than you'd think and it may be hard to get a table.
When we did large family Thanksgivings at home, I always made dill cheese bread. It's ridiculously easy. You cut pilsbury biscuits in halves and arrange them in a bundt pan, spoon a mixture of melted butter, parmesan cheese, dill, garlic salt (or is it powder?) over the biscuits, add more biscuit halves, add more mixture, and bake it in the oven for 35 minutes. Always a crowd pleaser.
This year my parents and I (and, with large amounts of luck, my aunt, uncle, and cousins who live in Arkansas) will be at Disneyland. So I have no idea what will be on the menu, but to be honest, as long as I get to see the Christmas parade, I don't care.
