Make this Thanksgiving an easy yet memorable occasion.

If you have a frozen turkey, clear a space in your fridge and put the bird in now to defrost.
Clean the house, if you’re having a lot of guests, you may want to set up the table(s) and make sure you have enough space and chairs.

Make a plan, this is the number one thing that makes you save time and feel more comfortable .

Make a shopping list, when you go to shopping keep your list in your hand and make sure you are not hungry, that makes you only buy the stuff you need .

Plan to have a few items that are more difficult and take more time and a few items that are quick and easy. Prepare some items ahead.

Make sure to keep the food in the right temperature and right container.Illness-causing bacteria can grow in perishable foods within two hours unless you refrigerate them. Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours or within 1 hour if the temperature is over 90˚F. Marinating meat or seafood on the counter is not right,harmful germs in meat or seafood can multiply extremely rapidly at room temperature.Always marinate meat or seafood in the refrigerator.Cooked food is safe only after it’s been cooked to a high enough temperature to kill harmful bacteria.

In all those preparation,make time for exercise. Rest. Read a book ,a newspaper,check your e-mails. Make yoga .Drink a cup of relaxing tea.
