Countdown to Christmas - 51 Days
By Sandra Harper - November 5, 2009
Am sticking to plan to pace myself over the holidays - nothing too much too soon. Didn't entertain Thanksgiving until all Halloween candy consumed. Battled temptation - Macy's had a gorgeous display of winter hats and gloves - but breezed past with reminder that there is never occasion for woolen neck scarf or mittens in LOS ANGELES. Anyway, as is November 4th, thought it acceptable to retrieve Thanksgiving cooking magazine from hiding place, and consider turkey (grilling? brining? basting?) and side dishes (would offspring even taste beet chutney or micro greens?). Hit by sudden wave of exhaustion so tossed magazine and phoned dearest friends to inquire about their favorite dishes. Shall secretly hope for invitation to dinner.
