First Thanksgiving! !!

[Ana Quin]

Hi all, this is my second year with my husband and this year we drew the short straw so both our families will be at our house this year! I am so exited because this is the first time we get to host our combined families!
Both our families are Christian. Mine is Baptist and his is a mixture of Anglican and Catholic, what's the opinion here concerning the blessing? One of each? Or should we do a combined payer?

Welcome to CF and Happy Thanksgiving!

Catholics may have rules about joining prayers (I'm not sure). Ideally there should be a simple prayer that everyone could "amen" without bringing up an issue. When we have shared the holiday, usually the hosts pray.

It's a mix at our house too. Maybe i should offer to pray.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Thank you very much! All holidays with family are good. And yes I am aware that in Catholic Dogma is very touchy about combining prayers but this isn't a problem in our family (after all we have an Irish Catholic who married an Anglican after all). I was asking more because I wanted to do something cute and fun not because I was worried about a conflict.
Last week my husband and I were visiting Dallas and we ate at a place called Chuys where the wrapped flatware had 3 different grace prayers printed on them, one for Jews one for Catholics and one for Protestants. I thought that was a really cute idea so u was wanting to think of something fun like that without blatantly ripping of that idea. I was hoping some one here who is a member of a mixed faith Christian house may have some neat ideas.
