This is an unusual time of year. The house is slowly sliding downhill. Is it the six continuous days of being with our children? Or the six continuous days of eating turkey? After a turkey dinner on Christmas, turkey leftover lunches and dinners (4 meals), turkey soup (3 meals), today will probably be the last day of turkey, culminating in turkey leftovers for lunch and turkey pot pie for dinner. Then the turkey will officially have beaten us, since we still have vast turkey reserves left in the refrigerator.
