Happy Thanksgiving!

Because in 24 hours everyone will be busy with family, shopping, cooking and traveling --- let me take a minute now to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

It's easy to get overwhelmed by family, to-do list, money spent, and more during the holiday season, so let's have little group therapy here, okay.

-You are the only one who really cares if the potatoes are cold by the time they hit the table; the people you're serving are family. If they do care...make sure to cross them from next year's invite list.

-When family members begin to jockey for the 'alpha' position at the Thanksgiving dinner table, giving their sadly misinformed opinions on everything from national politics to American Idol, let them go. You're the keeper of the bird. You win.

-Supreme leftover recipe. The T.O.T. Turkey On Toast. Do it with mustard, leftover gravy or whatever floats your boat---just make sure you have turkey white meat on crusty, crusty toast.

-When Black Friday rolls around and you're contemplating how long you could go without a car payment to buy your kid that animatronic, interactive dinosaur for Christmas, remember this is the same kid that is amused by the paper bag you got at Giant Eagle the other day.

-Visit Santa at the Mall At Robinson. He rocks. Period. Every mom I've ever talked to about this subject says that when you 'visit' Santa at the Mall At Robinson it's a FANTASTIC visit.

-Watch some holiday tv specials. Sing along. Because every child needs to know the words to Heat Miser and Snow Miser...and you're the parent to teach them.

Got any other suggestions or comments on Thanskgiving weekend. Send them along.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

    It goes along with your last comment, will there be a return of the Christmas donkey on the morning show (and for the life of me I can't remember his name)?

    Nestor The Long Eared Christmas Donkey will return on Monday December 1st and make appearances on the Star Morning show throughout the holiday season. I will put a link up for Nestor-ites on Monday. Happy Thanksgiving!
