Don’t let the upcoming holiday turn you into a grouch no one wants to be around. Take a moment and look at the disaster stories pouring in for our contest. If they can laugh, so can you.

I have a few things for your to-do list today. Don’t despair, it is mostly a list of things to think about.

  • Double check your guest list, menu, and shopping list.
    • Are there enough chairs, plates, cutlery, glasses, napkins, and servingware?
    • Is your turkey 20lbs? Put it in the fridge to thaw.
    • Is there a menu item to make today?
    • How does the house look?
    • Do you have overnight guests coming:
      • Be sure you have enough sheets, pillows, and towels.
      • Are the bathrooms clean? Really?
    • If your house is in rough shape, it might be time for a round of crisis cleaning.
    • Do you want a centerpiece? Find it, buy it, or make it.

    Is it a bad thing if I am just checking on this pre-preparation checklist today?

    I think I just passed the point of no return on the holiday preparations.

    My birthday was Oct 28th and my sweet husband bought me tickets to see Phantom of the Opera in Chicago....I was soooo excited I didn't notice the date right away....then I saw it we are going on Tuesday returning on Wed. hosting Thanksgiving at our home on Thursday for 25 people!!! Bless his heart!! I have decided it will be ...what it will be....I'll do what I can by Monday night and then I will go and I WILL ENJOY the play! Pam, South bend
