We've always done it buffet style. Platters or bowls of food on the kitchen table or counters. Everybody gets what one wants and then carries it into the dining room to eat. The only food on the dining room table to pass around is butter and a basket of bread.
About 20 years ago an aunt hosted and tried it family style, everything on the table and pass it around. That didn't work too well and she never did it again.
Also: carving the turkey. Is it done in advance, or is it brought to the table whole and then Grandpa has the honor of slicing it, a la the Norman Rockwell illustration?
