Can you give me some tips for preparing a Thanksgiving dinner?

1. Start early and make sure to plan out your menu. Make sure that all the dishes can be prepared ahead of time so you don't have to worry about it when guests arrive.
2. Choose a theme or color scheme for your table decorations. You could even go as far as picking a centerpiece.
3. Shop for ingredients in advance, if possible, to save yourself from last minute stress.
4. Set up an assembly line with each person responsible for one task. This will help keep the cooking process moving along quickly.
5. Consider making a few extra items just in case something goes wrong during the meal.
6. Don’t forget to include plenty of beverages such as water, juice, wine and non-alcoholic drinks.
