Well.....Just do normal Thanksgiving meal and hope for the best. It's going to seem odd and there isn't much you can do but hope for the best.
Good Luck

Wow. That's tough. One thing is for sure, they all love you a lot or they wouldn't be putting themselves in that difficult position.
Since they know the others will be there (I assume) obviously they are prepared to be on good behaviour.
Can you arrange some ice breakers? My favourite is to write the names of famous people on pieces of paper & tape them on the backs of people when they arrive. They must ask questions of others to guess the answer, but the answers can only be either yes or no.
Or some other ice breaker or games.
Or
Prepare a list of non-controversial topics to bring up that can be discussed like some of the questions on Yahoo answers. - look in the philosophy section for thought-provoking ideas.
Good luck. (& do as much cooking in advance as you can & keep the menu simple.) Perhaps ask each of them to bring their cooking specialty. That may also be ice breakers and perhaps will provide compliments (hopefully) plus ease up your cooking load.

Save yourself the trouble and make it potluck! Oh, don't forget to break out your best Chinet plates.
