Although I believe that...I was thinking of more of the prep work.
Something like waking my husband up to peel the potatoes!
Actually, my thought was Something on the order of Making sure the turkey was thawed out, or Popping the pies in the oven.
I am late to this party but the first thing I do is cut the head off of the turkey!
Well, When I was married the alarm would go off earlyand my job was to stay in bed and keep it warm.
