So this was my first Thanksgiving with family on my grandmother's instead of my grandfather's. When my aunt (who made dinner) got to the table she said something along the lines of "well, I hope everyone is done saying their individual blessings, so let's begin". This is much better that having to get into a circle to say the blessing, which is not only offensive to me, but because our usual gathering is large, and nobody in our family has a house with a room large enough to allow that many people to get into anything resembling a circle, it is uncomfortable for everyone involved.
Anyways, I'm glad to see my grandmother's side is more progressive and understands the concept of diversity.
