Wishing you a Thanksgiving where the only argument is over who gets the last piece of pie.

Happy Thanksgiving. May the relatives behave, the kids run out of energy before the adults do, and the seating chart be a non-issue. (One of these is unrealistic.)

Thanksgiving plan: stretchy pants, two helpings of stuffing, and pretending to be interested in Uncle Roger's opinions on traffic.

Happy Thanksgiving. The bird is in the oven. The relatives are en route. The wine is open. The countdown to peace begins.

Wishing you a Thanksgiving where the cranberry sauce actually appears, the turkey isn't dry, and Aunt Linda forgets to bring her casserole. Two out of three is a win.

Happy Thanksgiving. May the politics stay off the table, the carbs stay on it, and the gravy never run out.
