Make mine cornbread dressing. MMmmm!
(My mother in law makes stuffing with saltines, which really tastes much better than it sounds. Very Yankee of her!)

I am forced to go to my brother & sil's farm every Thanksgiving. They don't have anyone fooled - it's the only holiday they can have both of their families in one fell swoop. But since there's a limit to how many times you can say, "nice horses," it gets boring pretty quickly. Also, no matter how many times you say, "I'm catching a 6am flight in the morning, I need to leave early," my sil doesn't hear you - even though it's an hour plus drive home. By 7pm, Healthy Choice starts to sound good!
But the real tribute is not the turkey breast, it's the fact that there is almost literally a different dressing for every adult there. In the bird, out of the bird, cornbread with sausage, bread with apples & pecans, cornbread with apples & pecans, "stuffing balls" (to be avoided like the plague!), and dressing with hamburger. One learns never to say, "Please pass the dressing," as five other people will hand you a dish! I think most of us would be happy with cranberries (jelled, whole, or frozen) with the dressing of his or her choice.
