The Old Thanksgiving Flip

I may have mentioned that I love the holidays. Christmas is my favorite, but Thanksgiving kicks some ass also. My wife is a planner (sure she doesn't always tell em the plans) and we planned to go to my brother and sister in-laws in Oregon this year. My brother-in-law was going to make a gourmet meal that he learned from his cooking club. Freaking sweet. I don't need to cook, I can watch football, and I don't clean up afterward. What a deal.

Well we found out this weekend that plans have changed. They are now all coming here for Thanksgiving on their way back from Canada (my sister and mother in-law are Canadian). So we are now eating dinner at noon, and doing all the cooking ourselves. right after we eat they need to head back to Oregon. Talk about eat and run.

So we now have our tiny condo, 10 people, and a 22 pound turkey. I'm sure it will be fun, but it seems like a lot of work for 3 hours of company.

The good news is that because they are leaving early, I will be able to put on the Christmas music and decorate my condo. Bring on Christmas.
