YES! YES I am one of those people who starts planning in August actually but on November 1 I feel like I can actually start doing real things - other than what I have already done which is menu and logisitcs planning (Speaking of menu planning, THANK YOU FOOD52 for getting GDPR compliant!! I have been bugging you via Instagram and email because there are SO many Food52 recipes that have become my go-to staple Thanksgiving recipes over the years - the 11 years that I have been doing my own Thanksgiving, the majority of them here in Hamburg, Germany - and without access I would have panicked.) I have a record 80 people coming for Thanksgiving this year (it just gets bigger every year...) and I am totally agonizing over whether to keep it at home (we pull out all the furniture and put in tables because this is a sit down dinner) or move it to another location, a very cool old warehouse space owned by friends that would very comfortably fit 80 but may loose a bit of the intimacy of being crammed into my living and dining room. Opinions on this? I know 80 is not a very intimate number and I refuse to give up the tradition of going around the table and saying what we are thankful for ... it makes the Germans soooo uncomfortable initially but they all love it in the end!

How funny! I feel the same way. And am also in Germany. 25 people coming. After 15 years in Berlin, relocated to Rheinland and the fests are just as big and colorful. Many of my beloved recipes over the course of the last many years were saved here and locked tight due to GDPR. So excited to have them back. It's become a bit of a tradition -- people start asking for invites back in August -- maybe one of these days we should combine our crowds and resources! Good luck!

Great idea! I am wondering about the kid's table, since there will be 5 children that won't fit at the main table-how to make it seem special and connected, also?
