To be fair, I read this more as "It can be done. You probably can't do it without a lot more practice." We can't even scry, let alone carefully scry on specific points.

Well, assuming you want to. Of course, in trying to fulfil it, you can easily accidentally stop it from ever happening...
Thus has fiction taught me: bad self-fulfilling prophecies are easy to do, good self-fulfilling prophecies are hard. It's almost like reality is run by the rules of Drama and/or Comedy!

Easy win for an active ping and things that are. Update incoming -- hopefully tomorrow, but Thanksgiving approaches here in the States, and my wife and I have foolishly offered to host her family and have prep work to do, so I may be going on hiatus for 2-4 days if preparations and hosting end up eating my free time (turns out that the traditional meal requires...extensive...preparation. Particularly when you only have the standard issue US apartment kitchen to work with). I'll still be on the thread, though, so feel free to discuss or to ask questions!
I have one: are they bringing their own food?

I think thanks giving (which is a really hypocritical festival) involves a turkey.

They're bringing some minor stuff so that we can focus on the cooking, but we're being hospitable and handling the heavy lifting (mostly because my mother-in-law is grounded from hosting duties after roughly 22 straight years of having to host her 50+ person family for every major holiday).
(Let's not discuss the ethical merits of Thanksgiving here. As far as I'm concerned it's an excuse to take a few days from work and eat disgusting amounts of food with your family.)
Turkey among other things. Potatoes, turkey stuffing (usually involving copious amounts of diced bread and often celery) cranberries, pumpkin pie -- it's meant to be a feast. That the turkey is the main course is an indicator of how much you're meant to eat.

That just sounds like a typical christmas dinner to an Australian like myself, admittedly I don't understand why people would want to eat Pumpkin Pie!
Turkey: the worst of all bird meats, as far as I'm concerned.
...50? How?
And such an attitude to foreign to me, mainly because where I live, everyone is supposed to chip in. That includes baked stuff.

Which answer's the question of why you're the one cooking.Turkey among other things.

The distinction is...subtle. (They're the same damn thing. I have no idea why it happened that way, but I love these meals so I won't complain.)

My mother-in-law is one of eight children, each of whom has produced two or more children of their own. That, plus their (multiple, for the four who've had one or two divorces ) spouses, and their children's spouses, drives the numbers up fast. And then there's the fact that my wife's generation has started spawning, so there are yet more children being added. Then you toss in the various adoptees, and things go straight to hell. Plus there are still about five people from the grandparents' generation still kicking around and throwing another straw on the pile. We draw people up from North Carolina, Florida, and (now that my wife and I live there) Ohio. In theory the family unit is based in Illinois, but they just kind of exploded to the four winds and multiplied like rabbits in the Australian Outback. And they're so clannish that anybody who can even briefly be accounted a member gets party invitations for the rest of their days.
My own family is similar but can really only muster up to the high thirties or low forties when the big reunions swing around. Fortunately they're also crazy-localized and would riot if they got invitations out to Ohio. Reduces our workload quite a bit. Also fortunately, we're just having my wife's parents, her two brothers, and the brother's girlfriend that everybody knows is going to be the next in-law. Immediate family only on this one, and my own genetic accidents now live out West and cannot attend (woo!). My sister-in-law would be here as well, but is studying in Italy. So it'll be a seven-person meal for our first hosted Thanksgiving. Much more doable than the clan-wide doomstacks.
My father-in-law, meanwhile, is an only child. Go figure.
The guest obligations are sort of similar with our families, but the host really only asks for people to bring the small stuff (wine, chips, dip, etc.), or something they simply can't make for lack of equipment or experience. I know that's not even a regional thing so much as how it expressed in our specific family units, though, so I guess that's just a highly-varied standard.
Turkey's not for everyone. It is for me, though.
How so?
