We used to have to make multiple stops on Thanksgiving up until maybe 2-3 years ago. My brother started having to work on Thanksgiving Day and couldn't make it down here on the big day itself, so we'd have a separate Thanksgiving on Friday for my side of the family. Having followed the same Thanksgiving traditions for the better part of 15 years, I did not like the change one bit at first, but now that we're a few years into it, I actually prefer it. We got to spend a whole day with each of our families.
This year, my brother is moving to Chicago, so the plan will change yet again, and this time we don't know what it will look like. More than likely he will only be able to make one trip for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, but not both.
