The Season is Upon Us

Okay folks, Thanksgiving day is just a couple days away! Don't be fooled into letting yourself think that this is more than what it is. Yes, it is a day to give thanks. It is also a day to get together with your family and that makes you even more thankful that you could afford to buy that extra bottle or two of wine that is usually necessary by the end of the meal.

Try making your day more enjoyable by planning the menu in advance and prepping anything at all that you can the day or two before. By the time turkey day arrives all there is to do is pop in the bird and relax.

A few tips for the people who decide that they would like to "help" or "contribute". As thoughtful as your generous gestures are, make sure that they are followed through completely and make sure that your contribution to the meal is actually falls into the rest of the meal format. If you offer to help do dishes keep in mind that piling up all of the dishes in the sink and leaving them there to become skummy and gross is not helping. Thus the need for the extra bottle of or two of wine.

After it's all said and done and the meal is over, you'll be thankful once again that you have opened your heart and home to loved ones and that they're finally out the door and you can sleep.
