We just completed our 21st year celebrating Thanksgiving in Oklahoma City. Back in 1987, my mothers side of the family decided to forego the traditional Thanksgiving meeting at someone's house, and meet at a central location for all our aunts, uncles, cousins, and distant relatives to come celebrate together. The Embassy Suites in Ok City gave us a good deal on rooms, and catered the Thanksgiving Meal. It has been the best tradition we could ask for! We get to keep in touch with one another when we would not have the opportunity to do so if we just met with our immediate family! This year, cousin Jon was able to bring his wife and 4 boys from San Diego. We love our time, and the kids get to play at the hotel just like one big playground. Great tradition, and in just a few years, we will be celebrating 25 years! Wow! Surely the Hilton owed Embassy Suites will comp our stay. Ha, I'm not betting on it!

what a great idea.... no one has to clean their house before and AFTER everyone comes. Stress free visiting for everyone!
