We solved the dilema of Thanksgiving with a last minute suggestion from my daughter-in-law, Candice - a brunch! She brought over a breakfast casserole, my other daughter-in-law brought over an Oreo cheesecake and I threw a ham in the oven (the turkeys really were safe from us this year), some cheese potatoes, fresh fruit salad, 7-bean salad - all things that were pretty easy to prepare and not so traditional that they made me sad to have them.
Everyone came over to eat about 10 o'clock and we were done and the kitchen was cleared up by noon - and I didn't feel over-the-top stuffed! It left me with the rest of the day to just relax and read and watch shows (not football or the dog show) and indulge in a piece of pumpkin pie.
All in all a good day, and tomorrow we venture out to find a Christmas tree. It may even snow!
