Thanksgiving is a holiday of happiness and gratitude. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? However, if you are hosting your family and/or friends for Thanksgiving or are a major contributor to Thanksgiving somewhere else, then you know how much work goes into it. There are groceries to buy, a house to clean, turkeys to thaw, several courses to prepare, silverware to polish, and tables to be set. It can all be overwhelming, especially if you don’t plan ahead. It’s not too late to make this Thanksgiving a peaceful one. ListPlanIt can help you plan out the next few days so that you are ready for the big one.
