It's a must that we all sit around a totally decorated table with the finest of dishes and china and a linen table cloth. I actually decorate it with everything Chirstmas. I know it's crazy, but this is how I have done it for years. What a great way to welcome in the season of Thanksgiving of our saviors birth. Now about that can cranberry sauce there is one family member that loves this cranberry sauce so for them I greatly serve it. I have been making this whole meal for years, I keep trying to get my kids in the kitchen to learn the recipes and the timing of cooking everything, but no one want's to get up that early. I put my turkey in a Brine for 24 hours and I make a buttery wine sauce to baste my turkey.
