Before you can feast on turkey, you've got to settle the annual family dust-up. Do you fight over who gets to play Thanksgiving host? (Your brother in Albany says he made the trip last year; this year, he's insisting it's your turn. So what if his schedule is freer and his house smaller.) Or where the guests are going to sleep? (Your aunt can stay in your bedroom, you say. What's wrong with a hotel, asks your husband.) For some families (admit it), the sparring is as much a tradition as cranberries and pumpkin pie.
Because Thanksgiving is a family holiday, we'd like to hear about some of the family tests you weather to get together at this season, and how you solve them -- or don't. If you managed to talk Cousin Mel out of preparing his Brussels sprout souffle or persuaded Dad not to turn grace into a political diatribe (sigh), we want to hear how. If you think that, once the guests leave, you and your spouse may be talking again by Christmas, we want to hear that, too.
E-mail your stories (under 250 words, please) to health@washpost.com and write RELATE in the subject line. Include your name and phone number (for verification purposes only). We'll publish some of the best stories in the Health section before Thanksgiving -- just in time to give your family members something else to chew on around the holiday table.
