Today’s Countdown to Turkey Day mission is to clear the dining room table and begin figuring out seating and serving.
It’s time to re-break the habit of using the table to hold everything from the bills and laundry to next week’s homework assignment(s).
Will you need the extension for the table? Do you know where it is?
Do you have enough chairs and plates for the number of people who will be in your home?
Is your meal casual enough that sitting on the floor with paper plates will work? If not, it’s time to figure out whether you will borrow or rent chairs and place settings for the holiday. If you are planning on renting, be sure to call Monday morning and make your reservation.
Begin following the weekly chore chart, if you haven’t yet. You’ve got more than three weeks to get the house company ready. Try not to plan any massive home renovations in this time frame. Unless you’re like me and using someone else’s house for the actual day, then renovate away if you think you can handle the stress (I can’t, it’s going to wait a bit).
