Today it is time to sit down for five minutes and decide: where, when, and who. Grab a pencil and write it down.
Where will dinner be held?

Everyone else pitches in with the main meal, and it is done here. Already have my free turkey earned. Now, time to start cleaning, so we can get the rugs cleaned for the holiday season.
Got it! I also have my entire menu planned and (shhh... some things are prepped and in the freezer!)

I think we're going to be with my husband's family and my sister-in-law is in charge with several friends. (another sigh) She's a vegetarian.
