If you are expecting a gift from me, please do not read this.

Seriously.

I’ll just wait until you leave.

Tell you what, go watch Charlie Brown instead…

Thanksgiving Roundup

my turkey totally looked like this

This blog has now seen three Thanksgivings — two here at home in NYC and one at my mom’s house — and for this, my fourth Thanksgiving, I have to admit, I’m not feeling especially frazzled about it. I’m definitely not going to put on an extravaganza of side dishes like I’ve done in the past. I’m going to keep things simple (turkey, stuffing, cranberry in some form, a vegetable or two) and enjoy the day.

So, in lieu of discussing all the freakouts I would usually be having at this time, I’ve dug up the best advice, recipes, et cetera, from the past three years. Think of it as the blog equivalent of a free turkey from the supermarket. It may not be great, but hey, it’s free.

Last minute gift idea #5:

It’s like a mall of nonprofits!

ChangingThePresent

Recommended for: hippies and anyone else who doesn’t mind not really getting anything.

Last minute gift idea #3:

Okay, it says it won’t arrive in time for the holidays, so file this one away for next year maybe?

How could Buster Keaton be so sad when he has a sandwich made on some always delicious Levy’s Rye?! It is a mystery for the ages!

Recommended for: silent movie fans and/or people who like rye bread. Or me.

Last minute gift idea #2:

Razzles? Skittles? Whachamacallit? Twizzlers? They all have hilarious names and are delicious!

From OldTimeCandy.com, pack a bag with all the different candy you like and can never find anywhere.

Recommended for: the sibling with whom you always had to share your Tangy Taffy with because your mom thought it was too much candy for just one kid, even though either of you could have easily eaten the whole thing (not that I hold a grudge or anything).
