I'm actually pretty lucky because my parents are locavores, so other than gluten and a couple of sugary desserts there isn't much I would need to avoid and plenty for me to eat. There's never much processed food around; almost everything is homemade from home grown or locally grown products. The meals themselves will likely be pretty paleo except for the rolls and stuffing (Thanksgiving only). My mother would sooner die than put marshmallows on her sweet potatoes or make one of those fried onion topped green bean casseroles. But, I'll probably give in on my mom's stuffing (I don't have any serious gluten sensitivities). It's what Thanksgiving tastes like to me. I can skip the rolls no problem.
As far as desserts go, I'll probably indulge in one for each holiday. I should be able to stay gluten-free on those. I can have pumpkin custard (no crust) with freshly whipped cream on Thanksgiving and at Christmas there is always homemade fudge and dark chocolate truffles among all the cookies.
Fortunately, if I do decide to be stricter with myself no one will say anything. There are a lot of different diets represented around the table and we don't really have any food pushers in the family. You can easily skip dessert with a claim of "I'm full". No one would ever doubt it, lol.
