Patty Gamon and her sister tag-teamed Thanksgiving dinner for more than 20 years before they threw in the turkey and started a new tradition. These days, their celebration includes no cleaning, no shopping, no prepping and – most importantly – no stressing. They might have to wait in line for 20 minutes; there are no reservations. But, there’s no going back to cooking their own turkey, making their own stuffing and doing all those dishes. “We quit,” Gamon said. Gamon – who’s 69 – is among a growing number who are giving up on cooking the traditional Thanksgiving meal. But it doesn’t mean they are forgoing the festivities/Adriana Janovich, SR. More here.

Question: Have you ever eaten out rather than go through the stress of preparing Thanksgiving?
