Thanksgiving 2010: How Obama, Bachmann, Palin & More Will Celebrate

Capitol Hill is effectively closed for business, meaning that representatives and senators can head home to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families, or whomever else they choose.

It's perhaps a final moment of solace for legislators, who will return to a brief and perhaps quite contentious lame duck session of congress after the holiday.

Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has promised a vote on the hotly debated DREAM Act, a measure that would create a path to citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants who enlist in the military or enroll in college.

There has also been significant buzz that the Senate may vote on the fate of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gay soldiers before the year's end. Extending unemployment benefits, a compromise on the Bush tax cuts and the nuclear arms control "START" treaty are all part of a myriad of legislative considerations that may well take place in the upcoming weeks.

Until then, however, elected officials can enjoy the holiday.

Take a look at a few politicians' plans for Thanksgiving dinner and vote for the best:

After pardoning two California turkeys on Wednesday, the Obamas are expected to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner at the White House on Thursday.

Allison Gilbert: Parentless Parents: Being Thankful on Thanksgiving

One of the most gratifying themes I uncovered researching and writing my forthcoming book "Parentless Parents: How the Loss of Our Mothers and Fathers Impacts the Way We Raise Our Children" is just how healing Thanksgiving can be for those of us who have lost our parents.

Healing, you say? Aren't the holidays just a painful reminder that our moms and dads can't be with us to celebrate with our children? Yes, the holidays can certainly feel that way. But they don't have to. Even though both my parents are gone, and I have two young children who never got to know them, I've come to realize that Thanksgiving has the power to heal.

According the Parentless Parents Survey, a sweeping study I conducted to better understand moms and dads who are raising their kids without their own mothers and fathers, 70 percent of all respondents say that they appreciate their children more because they've lived through such loss. Additionally, more than half say that they are better parents because their parents have passed away, simply because they've gained the ability to be more understanding with their children. Loss builds perspective.

Perhaps most fitting for Thanksgiving, however, is this: A whopping 84 percent of mothers and fathers who took the Parentless Parents Survey indicate that having lived through the loss of their parents has made them appreciate the family they still have.

That's how I feel today: grateful that I had two terrific parents, and exceptionally thankful that I am married to man whom I consider my best friend and that we have two beautiful, healthy children.
