See the clash early
A November 2026 grid with a row for each family and the fixed dates printed in, including Thanksgiving on Nov 26. Gray dates are fixed; the rest is yours to fill in.
Agree first, tell second
The decision sheet has matching questions for each family: where you will be, what time the meal is, who hosts and brings what, the travel, what you are skipping, and what you offer instead.
Keep it fair on paper
Writing each side's plans in its own color makes it obvious when one family's plans take up the whole week.
Plan the turkey thaw backward
A note on the calendar tells you to count back about one day for every 4 to 5 lb of turkey, based on USDA guidance.

Print both pages. The calendar is landscape.
Fill in the decision sheet together first, before either of you calls a parent.
Add each family's plans to the calendar in its own color, then adjust until it works for both of you.
