A Friend Asked Me to Pay $50 for Thanksgiving Dinner. Is That Weird? — Ask Marge

We asked Marge to tackle one of Kitchn's most divisive questions we've ever received: Is it OK to ask your friend for money for Thanksgiving?

Dear Marge,

A friend just invited me to his home for Thanksgiving dinner — and asked me to pay $50 upfront. I understand that hosting can be expensive, and I wouldn't mind being asked to bring a dish, but asking guests for cash seems incredibly rude. Am I crazy to be a bit miffed? Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how do you handle it?

Should I tell my friend that this is not the norm?
