Thanksgiving is supposedly a time for gratitude and joy, particularly in light of the previous year. It seems to largely take the form of “name a thing you are grateful for” before we eat approach. However, my family times this tradition during Advent. Every Christmas my six siblings and all of our spouses share a Christmas meal aptly named, “Christmas Sibling Dinner.” We plan a menu week in advance, purchase a wine complimentary to our meal, make pre-dinner cocktails, post-dinner wassail, and conclude with our grandmother’s chocolate mousse. The responsibilities and cost are shared as equally as possible.
