The day before Thanksgiving:
*complete your food shopping
*pick up turkey (if you ordered a fresh one)
*check the weight of the bird and plan on cooking time
*bake cakes and or pies (yummm)
*set the table
*refrigerate any wines that need to be served chilled
*make the centerpiece for the table
*go to bed early and get a good nights sleep

Do you LOVE IT?

1. Thx for the reminder to chill the wine…that’s critical! And I lucked out this year…hubby offered to make his famous apple pie.

3. Hi Alli,

This is your first Thanksgiving in your new house. Are you having a big group in or going somewhere? I’m sure the timeline’s come in handy for many. This is one of those meals where organization is a must. Enjoy your family and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

4. Hi Alli,

You are so good with this countdown. I am so glad that this year it doesn’t apply to me. I have several choices of family dinners to go to and all of them are great cooks and one is catered, so I feel blessed. They are going through the headaches and calling to get double confirmations of who might be coming. The one thing that is often in my family is that people tend to bring other friends whom they would like to share Thanksgiving with. This means that you have to make certain that you have over the amount of food to share. When you are blessed, you must share. My last dinner, I had 6-7 more people then I had originally accounted for. That was all right because the food was there. I am thankful that I don’t have to have the dinner, but I am grateful that I can contribute to the dinners of other family members.

Please have a wonderful Thanksgiving in your new home. This is the Christening of your new home!!!

Be Blessed Friend!
