WWYD? Thanksgiving related

I had asked last week to the ILs if what they were planning for Thanksgiving. Uncle usually does it, but wasn't going to this year. MIL is having surgery a few days before and won't be able to cook, FIL is on a new restricted diet from his surgery, and SIL just had surgery and is still working PT and is usually a toss up on her days off around holidays, so they said no Thanksgiving at their house this year. I was thinking on inviting them over for a small dinner the day before so we see them for a holiday and then go to my parents on Thanksgiving.

I guess now FIL wants to do Thanksgiving, and normally I wouldn't mind going to both since we've done it before. However, as we all know, stores are opening up on Thanksgiving for their sales and the ILs live in the middle of the city where we have 90% of these stores. My parents are in the suburbs and from our house we'd take the highway, but if we go to ILs there's no highway ramp nearby and we'd be going through the city when traffic will heat up and the road we have to take is always backed up, people cutting others off, and accidents.

I don't want H to feel his family isn't important and I'd love to still do a small dinner if we decide not to go, but I'm curious as to WWPD or be the best thing to do?

Sorry if this became a tl;dr.

    I would probably try to get his family to do it the night before. With all the special diets it just seems like less of a hassle. However, I would let DH decide.

    @selockar I agree and told DH over the phone we'd discuss it when he got home, but it was up to him ultimately.

    I guess discussing it wasn't an option, since he txted MIL that we're coming. I know if I just said yes to mine coming over or going over, he'd throw a shit-fit.

    I'm sorry. He should have at least given you a chance to talk first.
