I would.
DH often has to work holidays, so we don't always spend them together (except Christmas. I put my foot down for that one).
We are fairly independent anyway, so it's never been a huge deal to us. I visit my family a ton (and for many holidays) without him.
I only wouldn't do it if he actually had the day off but for some reason couldn't travel.
Also, when we have celebrated holidays together at home, we've ended up hosting some of his friends whose wives and kids have traveled for holidays without them.

I wouldn't want to but in your situation and if dh didn't mind I might. It's only one year, and Christmas is so soon after.

I would. My husband is not sentimental about holidays AT ALL and would probably love a free weekend at home without having to manage two toddlers
-
i would and i do. DH is a firefighter, so all holidays are on the table in terms of when he's working and when we're alone. he's working christmas this year, which stinks when the girls are young, but it's par for the course.

No, I'd rather spend Thanksgiving with him than anyone else. Unfortunately we've never managed to celebrate by ourselves... family wants to see us on allll the holidays.

Doing it once wouldn't bug me that much, but I'm not thrilled about the precedent it would set. I would want to establish that it's most important for our immediate family to be together on holidays than to be with extended family. Growing up, we always did holidays just with the immediate family so that seems most normal to me.

I would, I have, and I will continue to do so, Lol. DH works in the ER so he's is at the hospital working most holidays. He had actual thanksgiving off last year, but worked a ton all surrounding days and our family on both sides is 6+ hours away. I took the kids, he got invited to one of the docs houses for thanksgiving dinner. And his mom sent me home with thanksgiving leftovers to give him. He had it pretty easy, I'd say
But yeah, this is our life. Holidays not celebrated on the actual holiday. We make it work.

I would (and have) but I think it depends on your husband and the situation. For example, my husband isn't too into holidays in general so wouldn't care if he was home alone. He has also worked on several Thanksgivings in the past, so it didn't matter if I was there or not. But if he was going to be sitting home alone, I'd probably stay and do Thanksgiving with him.
