Sensible Thanksgiving
Budget Savvy Magazine sends out occasional “tidbits” [subscription info] that I like a lot. The most recent one has to do with Thanksgiving dinner. Many families take the meal very serious and consider it a failure if there aren’t 20 dishes on the table. Budget Savvy suggests this idea for a little sanity:
Instead, pick one or two desserts and two or three side dishes that are your guest’s absolute favorites and put your heart and soul into them.
They point out that you can’t seriously focus on a bajillion recipes and that you won’t get to enjoy yourself if you try. This is very much common sense advice, but it seems like common sense sometimes flies out the window when family expectations are involved. Save time, money, and sanity by choosing favorites instead of doing everything.
