46. My husband, daughter, and I are spending it at my late fiance's ex-wife's house.

Seriously.

Our children are siblings, and we've always spent holidays together. Sounds strange, I know, but it works. We're family.

I'm bringing vegan duplicates of dishes that will probably already be there: mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, gravy, plus lentil loaf, herbed brussel sprouts and a wild rice pilaf. My daughter is baking a couple of desserts. My husband and I are vegetarian and my daughter, her boyfriend, and another friend coming, are all vegan.

So we are untraditional on all counts. Can't wait!
