For the 5 year in a row, I will be smoking the turkey. I used to do it in an electrical smoker, but the MAK makes it way easier. I will also be making stuffing, rolls, gravy, and an apple pie cheesecake. My mother in-law will be bringing the sweet potatoes, a berry pie, and a pumpkin pie. My mother with be bringing the cliche string bean casserole, mash potatoes, and a cherry cobler dessert. I like hosting Thanksgiving dinner so I don't have to travel 1.5 hours to my in-laws, and, since it's my house, I get control of the remote on the TV.
