Having my family come over.
I won't mention the time I told my brother and sister in-law to 
and get out my house. That went over well.

My worst experience was not my own Thanksgiving but someone else's that I was a part of. 2003 while a cop, I had to work Thanksgiving. Wife came for a ride along so we could spend it together. Got dispatched to a call of female unresponsive. Arrived at house found grandmother on floor, 30-40 family members gathered around her crying and pleading for me to help her. NO PULSE.
This was before AEDs so started CPR. Loud pop knew I broke her ribs but kept working her hoping she would respond. She vomited all over me but I continued for another 22 minutes until medics arrived. They defib'd her while I bagged her. After all that, we still lost the matriarch of the family right there on Thanksgiving night in front of the whole family. It was pretty devastating but in hindsight, I think the she expired quite quickly, possibly before I even arrived.
My best was when my mother in-law kicked my wife and I out after a major argument Thanksgiving day just before dinner. First, I did not have to spend the day with a bunch of asholz and second, when we left, we had nowhere to eat Turkey dinner so we went to a local casino for dinner. After filling our fat faces with scrumptious and plentiful helpings that were way better than anything my mother in-law would have served, we hit the casino floor. We won almost $30,000 on a progressive slot that night. Big thanks to my mother in-law for kicking us out that day!
Two years later on Thanksgiving, we went to the casino again and had another great night. A $7400 great night!

I know, I know but I added vowels so it would be easier to read at least.

No joke. One Thanksgiving many moons ago, my sister (yes that one), got pizzed about something and she took the turkey out of the oven and threw it on the front lawn, then held a knife on my brother out of the butcher block. Haven't eaten with them people since.

I remember years ago when I was still married having dinner with her family when I suggested that her brother get a "real job".
I'm not a big holiday person myself.
You would never say anything like that
