What about those "moms" who HAVE cooked the "big traditional meal" for 20+ years and have just grown tired of the hassle (or can't DEAL with the hassle)? Even those grocery store dinners take a bit of additional preparation once you get 'em home, so its not exactly "slam dunk, here's your dinner, dig in".
I totally get if you don't have the time, or the health to do it. But if you do, what's the big deal? I just think a lot of kids that are growing up these days (I sound old) are missing out on some really nice traditions such as Thanksgiving dinner. What will they do when they grow up? To each his/her own I guess. Myself, maybe I just haven't done it enough yet to be sick of the "hassle" of it all.
