As a child it was never an issue with us. We never lived near family so
if we got together it was an entire logistical traveling event unto
itself. We always had friends come to our home or us go to their's for
TG and no one did any other meals that day.
Given my druthers, I think I'd rather alternate years or days for
special meals with family members than have only a couple of hours
together and an already sated appetite by the time they arrive to my table.
