Do not fill up on bread, cream cheese filled celery sticks, chips & dip, or other “appetite killers” prior to the main event meal of turkey. 3. Do not ask what ingredients are in the homemade stuffing. You do not want to know. 4. It’s better to have extra mashed potatoes and not need them, than to need extra mashed potatoes and not have them. 5. If you are over the age of 25 and still at the kid’s table, it may be time to take a step back and re-evaluate a few things in life. 6.
