My mother had invited her entire side of the family for Thanksgiving dinner - EVERYONE! My grandmother, who was in her eighties, was complaining a lot that day - in the middle of dinner, she announced that she had a dry va****! There was a stunned silence

I hosted Thanksgiving dinner for 40+ but my (ex) MIL decided she would fry 2 of the 3 turkeys. After about an hour of the oil not heating, it erupted into flames higher then the 2 story house! The thermometer was broken! 2 hours later the fire was out
How about the turkey getting lifted into a light fixture that exploded all over the food, sent one person to the ER for stitiches, and everyone eats pizza for XMas? PS newlyweds at the inlaws for the first time.

I made a traditional Christmas Eve dinner with 3 elaborate courses when I was 12 weeks pregnant with terrible morning sickness. It was all under control until the first guest arrived. I spent the evening in the bathroom and couldn't eat fish for months.

I forgot to put the sugar in the pumpkin pie. My brother in law took a huge piece, and politely set it aside saying that he was just too full to finish it! I tasted it, and knew immediately what I had done!

The first time I cooked a turkey I got my numbers wrong...I thought I cooked the bird at 185 degrees until the internal temp reached 325. I kept checking the turkey every hour but it didn't seem to be cooking. HOURS later someone caught my mistake.

Or there was the time MIL flipped the oven over to self-clean- while the turkey was inside!! It burst into flame and the fire department had to come and put it out. I felt so bad for those guys having to come out on Thanksgiving!

My MIL once hosted us for Thanksgiving. When we arrived she had out a tray of nuts. My 3 y/o was allergic to peanuts. When I moved it out of reach, she offered around peanut brittle! She even offered it right to my daughter.
