I had to laugh out loud at this:

Yummy! It was heaven to drink wine after 9 years of respecting the in-laws "no alcohol" policy. Sheesh! Gotta love how the holidays bring out the best in everyone. Cheers! Absolut Cranberry Smashes!

My father managed to criticize the way we parent our children. He told me that if we didn't change our ways, we'd be in a "world of hurt". If it had been anyone except my Daddy making these comments, I would of lost it. BTW - I have been hosting Thanksgiving for the last 4 years. The key to my success is the same as yours. Drink early and drink often! Your weekend guests were much worse than mine.

All I can do these days is laugh at that kind of stuff, otherwise I'd just have to cry... see, I'm learning to control my temper! The bird was great and I am sincerely impressed with myself. Generally speaking I'm a darn good cook, but this was my first attempt at something that big! To have it turn out so well and juicy is an accomplishment extraordinare.
