Who sits at the head of the table for the holidays?

The head of the table is closest to the kitchen and considered the "hot seat" which means you have to be the person to get up and refill dishes. Last year it was DD.

We don't sit at a table.

I love that you presented this with no additional commentary or context. Genuinely.

I agree. The possibilities!

(Actually, not really, I can’t think of much, but still.)

Whoever cooks the turkey at the end near the kitchen and the matriarch of the family at the other end.

We're not and never have been formal about seating. So, whomever gets there first gets it. I just want a seat closest to the kitchen as this is the meal I enjoy cooking. I think my dad did back in the day when we went there but it's been over 20 years, so I have no idea.

Fuck the patriarchy. The idea the oldest men, who probably contributed the least, should get the best seats is bs.

ETA: I must be in a bad mood today, lol. I’ve never actually paid attention to where anyone sits at a formal dinner.

10000% this, especially your second point about contributing least lol
