We have changed it up a lot over the years. We cooked our first year in Texas as a family of 3 but only 2 eating. Then we switched to going to Cracker Barrel each year. We mixed in some vacations though or trips to see family so it changed. We had popcorn one year while in California...we went to see Moana in theaters. During COVID we went to Disney then met my inlaws at an AirBnB..we did Spaghetti that year. Last year I cooked a big breakfast for us since my son was dating a girl that had a big family Thanksgiving.
This year we cooked for just the 4 of us...We did roast beef as well as turkey (I am not a big turkey person). It is nice to change it up occasionally.
