[quote=Anonymous]The menu is the same every year, with the exception of dessert, which is always pumpkin pie, another pie, and a kid-friendly plate of brownies, snickerdoodles, or other similar cookies.

Turkey with stuffing
Sweet potato casserole (prep ahead, back day of)
Second dressing/stuffing so there is enough to go around (prep ahead/bake day of)
Butternut squash (make day before and reheat)
Cranberry sauce (made 3 days ahead. add some orange rind and a splash of cointreau to jazz it up.)
Mashed potatoes (done a couple hours ahead of time with extra butter/cream and kept warm in slow cooker, add more cream as needed before serving)
Roux and stock for gravy are prepped night before and turkey juices added before serving

I only have one oven, so turkey comes out and rests about an hour before we eat so other dishes can bake.

Low maintenance, yet attractive linens - no ironing. 
Post it notes on all serving pieces to make sure everything is covered. 
Guests arrive anytime after 3 to an assortment of hors d'oeuvres. Dinner is served at 5. [/quote]
