What early steps, if any, do you take to prep for Thanksgiving?

With Holidays ruling the end of the year, how do you manage to keep sane?

I decorate my house for Thanksgiving (47.6%)

I buy the turkey before the prices triple (39.1%)

I start prepping the old secret family recipe(s) (30.0%)

I don't take early steps... I wait until the last minute (27.1%)

    It's usually just us for the holidays. We live away from family and it's crazy to travel during that time. We still eat a yummy dinner and relax at home. We also take advantage of Black Friday sales. I love getting the paper on Thanksgiving and thinking about all the bargains I'm going to get the next day.

    I love to bake and start baking all the family holiday recipes passed down from my great grandmother...

    I always think about decorating for Thanksgiving right after Halloween - I love to get in the holiday mood early - but something always seems to get in the way! I always seem to need more time in the day.

    I love decorating the house with all the fall colors. We used different color and shape gords that we grow in our gardens.

    I always decorate my home early too. I bring out the Autumn decor around Sept. 1st and sprinkle little bits of it here and there in hopes of bringing the cooler weather our way, ha ha ha. Living in Arizona sometimes takes the fun out of the holidays when the weather doesn't cooperate.
