Thanksgiving Eve

Is the night before Thanksgiving stressful for everyone or is it just us? We always host Turkey Day so maybe that is the problem, but I cannot believe the amount of food and work that is involved.  I am quite sure we always overdo it- two potato sides, two veggies, the big bird, stuffing, appetizers...on and on and on... by 2 pm on Thursday,  I am usually looking to go hide in my room and crash for a few minutes of peace.  I always feel like in the rush to prepare and execute these celebrations I have to remind myself to stop and enjoy what it is all about...being together and enjoying the day. It is hard to do that when it is 10 pm the night before and you are facing all that work.  I will try hard tomorrow to savor the moment. I know the day will fly by before I can even catch my breath, and it will be time to load the dishwasher and clean the mess. I will try this year!
