This is a good point. If you go, he'll be more uncomfortable and insecure than you will be. You win just by showing up and not talking to him.
The point about the kids is valid, so if you don't want your kids to see the discomfort, just go on your own and do their Thanksgiving at home. Two turkeys never killed anybody unless someone has a hunting story that I haven't heard.
