How to survive being vegetarian on Thanksgiving?

Home More advice Food & Dining

My family is a meat eating family. My uncle and grandpa even hunt. But, I don't like meat. At Thanksgiving two or three years ago, I decided to stop eating meat because I found the turkey so unappetizing. I tend to stick to mashed potatoes and stuff...but my family gives me a hard time about not eating meat during the holidays. Do you have any advice on how to get through it?

Also, I'm not looking for advice on how to have a healthy diet as a vegetarian. I know that already. I just want advice on how to deal with family members who give me a hard time for not eating meat.
