I used to look at lists and be overwhelmed but now I see some can be helpful but not crazy.
I ask myself what I need to do to make my Thanksgiving simpler
What will make your Thanksgiving less stressful if you will get it done before Thanksgiving?
D Harmony I believe said she works backwards from the dinner... imagining what she needs to do. Love it
Are you cooking? Do you have a Turkey. Do you have a date to defrost that turkey (don't forget to bring it out)
What do you have to cook? Go to the store early for the non perishables so that you are not carrying all in one day
Make a menu. ASK FOR HELP. Let others bring things
Where are your dishes and serving spoons?
Do you have a place to sit? do you have an empty front hall closet for coats
do you have dishes? paper plates can be beautiful
What will you and your family wear? do you have gas in your car? make up? hair brushes? money if need ha ha ha
You can do it!
