Can I Refuse to Host Thanksgiving?

THE STORY

I have hosted Thanksgiving six years in a row.

People show up late, bring one bag of rolls and then sit down like they have completed a task.

I cook for two days. I clean before. I clean after. Somebody always leaves a wet paper plate on a bookshelf.

Last year my brother took leftovers before I even ate dessert.

This year I said I am not hosting and suddenly the family group chat is full of concern about tradition.

Funny how tradition always happens in my kitchen.

Am I allowed to quit, or do I have to fake a plumbing problem?

Now the comments get a turn.

Read the room, state your case, and try not to become the reason the next submission exists.
