On Thanksgiving, my family and I spent the day over with my wife's family -- at her aunt and uncle's home. He had a room he had built, converted from one of the parts of his three-car garage. It had his TV, sofas, a fridge, a computer hooked up to the TV to stream movies, and other stuff. It was far enough away from the main rooms to avoid the noise of the kids, but close enough that you aren't completely isolated.

I determined that it was what I wanted in my house, even if it might not happen.
