Ten Rules for Thanksgiving

1. Set up a drink station on the opposite side of the room from the food.

2. Dessert should be set aside until everybody is full from dinner.

3. Dishes should be cleaned up before dessert is served. And all cleaning up should be done before anybody leaves with everybody helping.

4. Anybody who starts a fight or brings up controversy has to do all of the cleaning up. Not just dishes, or trash, or setting the table. All of it.

5. Always bring two extra cans of whipped cream.

6. All devices off until you leave unless there’s an emergency. TV stays off until after dinner.

7. Don’t go out today. At all. Black Friday deals are available online now. Stay home and be part of your family.

8. Make sure pets have plenty of food and water as well as outside time.

9. Keep the kiddos out of the kitchen for the person (or people) doing the cooking.

10. Grease fires need to be smothered, not doused. Use baking soda.
