So where do we feast?

First, let me say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Now on to the blog topic.

When Thanksgiving rolls around, some couples have to make a difficult decision. They must decide whose family to eat with.

Most of us, when we're in a relationship, want to spend the holidays with our significant other. But it can be a daunting task to figure out how.

For couples who live in the same city, making this decision can be a little bit easier. Each person can spend a little time with both families and everyone will be happy.

However, if you're in a long-distance relationship or either party's family lives out of town, it can become a little more difficult. It becomes a choice of one or the other, or possibly neither and spending the holidays without your honey.

And let's not even go into the repercussions such a decision can bring. If you choose your family and your significant other can't go, they could be mad. If you choose your significant other's family, your family could be a little peeved. Then, there's my favorite option: having dinner with just the two of you and possibly upsetting both families. But you will be with your significant other.

How do you make the decision over where to eat for the holidays when you're part of a couple? What was the reaction from those around you?

Have both families come to you. It works as long as neither of you have lots of siblings.
