Thanksgiving is only 5 days away!  Today, do a quick look around the house and tidy anything that needs tidying.

If at all possible, set the table.  Put the serving dishes on the table with a little note inside as to what each will contain.  This way, you'll know if you're missing anything and you'll make sure you have enough room for the food.  You can also dedicate a counter in the kitchen to all the prep equipment you'll need Thursday — roasting pan, foil, potato masher, gravy separator, etc.  Life is far easier when you aren't looking for things last minute.

Finally, if you are serving wine or sparkling water or soda, put it in the fridge to chill.
