  Securing the goods
  
  Secure non-perishable items now, before the hoards of last-minute planners (ahem) clean out store shelves and force you to serve canned ham at your dinner.
  Make a list of everything you need - this includes little things like spices and condiments.
  Do an inventory of your kitchenware to be sure you have all the equipment you need.
  Make sure you have enough table settings for all of your guests, and consider going the easy route with paper plates and plastic silverware.
  Pick up tablecloths, decorations, beverages, ice and napkins.
  
  Prepping leading up to T-day
  
  Head to the store to get the last of your ingredients – mostly fresh produce at this point.
  A day or two ahead of time, make pie crust, stock, potatoes, marinades, stuffing and cranberries.
  Set out the tables and chairs, get place settings down and arrange centerpieces.
  Prep a buffet-style table so everyone can serve themselves. Reserve separate places for dinner, desserts and beverages.
  Make a playlist of dinner tunes.
  
  Enjoy the day and give thanks that you made it through!
