Well, there are some things I am preparing well in advance, like the
stock for the gravy. I got some turkey necks this week,and those are
now waiting in my freezer for when I have time to make turkey stock.

And I already got cranberries to make cranberry chutney and another
cranberry dish. Those benefit from being made well ahead.

And I am thinking of making my pie pastry early too, and sticking it
in the freezer.
