DEAR ABBY: My stepson has invited my husband and me to his home for Thanksgiving this year. After agreeing to go, I found out that the meal will consist of vegetarian lasagna. I feel this is inconsiderate of my stepson and his wife because they know my husband and I have always enjoyed traditional Thanksgiving (including the Thanksgiving meal of roasted turkey).
Please, what is your opinion? I feel like it’s just not Thanksgiving without the turkey. — WANTING A FEAST IN THE SOUTH DEAR WANTING: I’m so glad you asked. The Thanksgiving celebration is a tradition in which families and friends join together to give thanks for being together and enjoy food, friendship and the freedoms we are privileged to have in this country.

Dear Abby: My stepson’s turkey-less Thanksgiving invitation just seems wrong
I feel it's inconsiderate of our feelings, since we traditionally enjoy turkey on Thanksgiving.
