One Week Advance Tips For Thanksgiving: Buying Your Bird and Your Tabletop Accessories

With Thanksgiving little more than a week away, it’s time to start planning for the big day.

First off, you should know how many people you’re going to have at table. Then think about what you’re going to eat, drink, and have for dessert. If you’re going to make punch, make sure you have your whiskey decanter. Remember all of the tabletop accessories you may need so you aren’t stressed out at the last minute. It’s helpful to choose dishes that can be baked, broiled, fried and microwaved, so that you don’t have all of your dishes waiting for the oven when the turkey still needs another hour. If your guests offer to bring something, be specific about what you need.

Chutneys and cranberry sauce can be made up to a week in advance, so save yourself time by thinking about the little things now, before it gets hectic. Similarly, buy your turkey so you have it and make space in the freezer. In a few days, move your bird into the refrigerator to thaw and start your grocery shopping. And a couple of days before the holiday start taking out all your kitchen canisters and tabletop accessories. If you aren’t hosting, make sure to get your gifts for host.
