Good Advice Abby!
I decided to not make dinner this year. I felt really guilty at first. As I write this I am relaxing until I have to put on my fancy clothes and head on over to the in-laws for dinner. I didn't even offer to bring anything (gasp). I would have been content to lay around the house on this holiday because for some reason I have been a lot weaker lately. I also do so much on every holiday/ family birthday that I can barely manage for a few days afterward. We should all give ourselves a pass whenever possible.

Have a nice holiday. Take care ~ Melanie
