Turkey time!


Hopefully you're already at home dreaming of turkey. I'm at the office today, but my parents are prepping their house for dinner tomorrow for about 40 of our closest relatives, just on my mom's side. Yes, we're one of those big Cincinnati families who've been here forever.


In a panic? We have lots of tips online. Cincinnati.Com's Holidays page tells you everything from USDA food safety to Thanksgiving menus to how to make Thanksgiving food for baby.



Here are tips on carving the perfect bird.

And to wash it all down, a bit of bubbly, perhaps.


I love Thanksgiving. It's all about family (and food), with no distraction of gifts. Except for the ugly stuffed animal monkey that gets dressed up and passed around in our family for special occasions. (I received it last year for Thanksgiving, dressed as a bride, since I'd just gotten engaged!)




Another thing I love about Turkey Day is that after dinner, when all of the dishes are cleaned and we're on our third piece of pie, we head downstairs to sing along to my mom's player piano, which is a foot-pumped version, not the automatic kind. After a few drinks, my uncles can really belt it out. The Notre Dame fight song always gets played (yes, it's a football family), as does the Beer Barrel Polka.


What makes your Thanksgiving special? Enjoy it!
