Thanksgiving Dinner

Most of you probably have your Thanksgiving plans set by now. Some of you will "do it all" the planning, shopping, cooking and cleaning. Youll make the turkey and all the trimmings while others will opt for a group effort. I'm hearing of lots of friends and family dinners where guests bring a favorite dish, making it more personal with their particular "comfort food" being served and having it less stressful for the host since some appetizers, accompaniments and desserts will be provided. Do any of you have a tradition of saying "thanks" before the meal that you'd like to share? Some use cards with just one word to trigger a thought for their guests to speak about. Others have the oldest and the youngest at the table say their "thanks." Do any of you have memorable Thanksgiving dinner moments that you particularly enjoyed and would like to share?
