Q: Everyone is different, curious as to how different!
A: My husband is army so it depends. This year it's going to be a quiet family dinner at home. Some years we hosted thankgiving for his squad(it's always potluck) other years someone else has. He just became a Warrant Officer so starting next year we'll be having dinner at the Mess Hall(officers are required to serve to the troops) and yes we are expected to be there. It's a tradition thing.
