when do you all start your thanksgiving prep

[edwardsgirl]

 So we are having a family gathering. I buy and make everything. Its my gift to the family since we are better off financially then the rest when it comes to affordability. If they want to bring something; they can but i don't expect them to. Half the time they all like it this way; come to eat; go home.

My mom in law wants me to make macaroni salad. I told her i didn't feel like making it myself but she was more than welcome to make it. Well she didn't get what i said because she  bought over all the stuff for me to make and just said i like it cold. My mom in law has some issues going on so i know its going to be hard for her to make, so I'll just woman up and do it for her since its apparent she wants it so badly.

But i have a ton of other things to do, clean, pies, cakes, fudge, pumpkin rolls, i don't know if i can make all that on Wednesday let alone add macaroni salad on top of it.

I would make it now; but my DH would eat it if i do. I can't trust him with anything that is in the fridge.

So when do you all start your prep work? I swear i think i am going to be up all night Wednesday getting shit done.

 I can't wait either; i love to cook.

Although i normally worked thanksgiving and had a lot of it done a few days before.

Now that i am home i am kind of getting overwhelmed.
