I'm weird about cranberry sauce. Though I love homemade cranberry relish, I also insist on having a can of cranberry jelly, pushed through the can and onto the serving plate so that I have a crimson cylinder of jiggle with the can ripples still on the side, which I then slice into circles. That is how it was when I was six, that his how it must remain.

The invitations include a statement something like "If something's missing from this menu that just screams 'Thanksgiving' to you, bring it or tell me and I'll get it," and my money has been on canned cranberry sauce. :-) Someone's bringing green beans, and someone else is bringing apple pie, so I may lose the bet.
