We dress up for Thkgvg and Christmas. In past years we've drawn names on turkey for christmas giving, but that system tends to break down with ppl still buying gifts for others besides their "drawn" name, but really who complains about that? LOL

We dress nicely for Thanksgiving but we don't necessarily dress "up." I think that the appropriate term is "dressy casual."
I don't think that casual is odd, though I do that formal or semi-formal are.

Ummm...she needs to lower that to $20 or less.
But I don't see anything wrong with the idea of gift giving..it should be more about being creative and thoughtful versus pricey...those are the kind of gatherings that usually dissuade people from attending..which may be her whole idea. haha

Growing up, we had to dress up.

We have never done gift giving but I remember the adults doing the drawing for the Christmas grab bags. On Thanksgiving we had to go to turch in the morning, participate in the turch Thanksgiving program with a poem of how thankful we are(all kids had to according gramma's wishes), we were all still in turch clothes and we all went to gramma's house.
