It was so nice to wake up on a week day and not have to rush to work. Dawn chilled out with her newspapers while I watched Deck the Halls on one of the Sky movie channels.We then started a new tradition. Dawn spent all day putting up our Christmas tree and decorations while I spent just as long in the kitchen preparing the food for our Thanksgiving feast. I also found the time to pop out to the butchers in Sele Farm to pick up the specially ordered free range turkey.
When I got home I baked the turkey in the oven, put the turkey dressing together, made the broccoli casserole and the giblet gravy, and made some cranberry sauce from scratch for the first time. I even attempted to make a cheese ball. However, sadly this came out too wet and has to be classified a failure. I didn't let it get me down as I was more than happy with everything else I had done.
We chilled out after dinner watching a recording of The Restaurant and one of our favourite sitcoms, How I Met Your Mother.
