I'd consider that a blessing in disguise. I'll be driving a good distance to join wife's side of family for a meal. Then driving all the way back home at night. All so I can sit at a loud table where I can barely complete two sentences without interruption. Bah!

I'll be driving 13 hours by myself tomorrow to join my family. I didn't realize I was the only one not coming for Thanksgiving day.
Yeah, family gatherings are ironically the worst setting for meaningful conversation. When we do manage to all convene my wife and I spend most of our time figuring who needs to go to the bathroom or eat or be consoled. My siblings are all doing the same thing. So we all see each other for a few hours then actually talk via phone calls at a later date.
