If you live close go to both houses. I am no longer with my daughters father. But I let her go over to her dads the earlier part of the day and then I get her for the remainder.
You should be alternating every year.
Or if none of these options work for you, go to the house that makes the best meal and has the most love. You should at least get a good thanksgiving meal and a great experience. It's not your fault your parents are divorced.

That's up to you which house you want to be at. Like others have said pick one and then let the other parent know that you're be there later on in the day or next year for Thanksgiving.

Go to one's house for lunch and one for dinner.
Kids in the middle of a divorce should never have to choose. There should be an established schedule worked out. Dinner at mom's one year, dads the next and vice versa. If your having to choose I would make a decision and inform that parent that next year I would be going to the other one's house and I would make plans to have dinner with that parent on friday or over the weekend, traditional or not. Then do the opposite next year. Never pick between your parents.

If you get on with each of them equally then take it in turns. Or perhaps go to one parent for a lunch time meal and then the other for a night time meal....
Which ever way you decide to do it, don't feel bad about being with one and not the other. THEY are the ones that divorced and they are the ones that should deal with the consequences of this.

Find out who has the bigger turkey.
That's the one who loves you the most.
(yes this is just a joke)
My wife and I have the same problem... both our parents are divorced so we always have 4 different places from which to choose. But parents are usually pretty understanding if you can't make it to one of their places for a holiday. Just go with the place that fits best with YOUR schedule.

I go to my mom's, but that's because my dad does Thanksgiving with his new wife's family and I don't like her.

Split your time with both parents. They were there for you when you were small, now you need to act like an adult.

Why not take it in turns each year.
