It sounds like you've been doing a *lot* of work, which has grown
exponentially, for a lot of years. At least your efforts are appreciated
and enjoyed by all! It also occurred to me (unless you're totally stuck on
U.S. "traditional") perhaps ask one of the relatives to prepare a Moroccan
meal in their home for everyone instead? It's not like you couldn't have
the family over (in smaller groups) at other times of the year for turkey &
the trimmings
