Plan Ahead

By spreading everything out over a period of a week, preparing Thanksgiving Dinner won’t be as stressful.
There is nothing wrong with asking older (5-99) children (yours, neighbors or grandchildren) to help cut up vegetables or whatever you need help with. My children say some of their fondest memories was cutting things up for me. My grandchildren seem to enjoy helping and neighbor’s children ask to help.
Ask family and/or friends to prepare and bring certain things that they do well. Be specific about what you want them to bring.
Play your favorite music and sing along – it’ll make you feel better.
