You don't have to do anything this year if you don't want to, but that doesn't mean other people cant. Have your husband, children and mother buy whatever they want. Your husband can buy the food, the children can help prepare it, you can take thanksgiving off this year. Have them set the table, whatever else. You light the candles. Wa-la, Thanksgiving. That's less pressure. But saying other people cant do anything doesn't seem right, they can buy whatever they want, doesn't really have anything to do with you.
