It\u2019s the holiday season! The weather is getting colder, the Halloween candy is almost gone, and turkey day is right around the corner. Depending on how recently you moved into your new Pacesetter<\/a> home, tackling Thanksgiving dinner may be a tremendously gutsy thing to do. Even if it\u2019s been a couple of months, you probably still have at least a few boxes left unpacked. But that\u2019s just fine because we\u2019ve got some ideas that will help your Thanksgiving dinner be a little less stressful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roll Your Housewarming Party into Thanksgiving<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even the happiest host is going to feel fatigued having people over when there are pictures to hang and rooms to paint, so make it easy on yourself. You\u2019re already inviting people over, whether it\u2019s your group of friends or family, so why not host a double-feature? Combine your Thanksgiving dinner with your housewarming party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who knows — you might even convince those friends or family members to help you unpack or set up a room or two. It\u2019ll be a way for your guests to stave off the post-turkey nap, at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give a Potluck Spin to Thanksgiving Dinner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of spending the entire day (or several days, if we\u2019re honest) preparing dishes, digging out roasting pans, and shopping for last-minute ingredients you couldn\u2019t find in the post-move chaos, why not ask your guests to help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask each guest to sign up for an item to bring on the big day. That way, you\u2019ll only be responsible for one or two dishes and can focus your energy on getting your new home ready for your friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve Food You Can Eat on the Go!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every single person who walks into your new house is going to want a tour. Like, right away, please. It\u2019s going to be a blast showing off your new home to your loved ones, but make sure nobody\u2019s feeling peckish while you\u2019re taking on the role of a tour guide. Put out plenty of snacks and finger foods for guests to nibble on while you take them through the rooms of your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Just Prep Dinner — Prep the Cleaning Station, Too<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanksgiving dinner is a warm, cozy meal that makes you want to curl up and take a nap, not spend hours washing dishes. Save yourself the hassle by preparing for the Big Clean Up even before guests arrive. Make sure your dishwasher is empty and ready for business. Clean your pots and pans while you\u2019re cooking, so there\u2019s not a mountain of dishes to wash before you even eat. And finally, fill your sink with soapy water and encourage guests to pop their plates right in after dinner. You\u2019ll be happy you put the time into this when you\u2019re deep into the post-turkey haze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have Fun and Be Thankful!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Thanksgiving is about spending time with your family and friends. So enjoy it! Even if you\u2019re eating off of paper plates, or you\u2019re sitting on uncomfortable folding chairs between boxes, what\u2019s important is the time you\u2019re spending together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
