well, I have turkey -phobia... so, I don't need to do that. but we will have 9 dishes just like chinese winter festival.
Kids have 2 days off onThursday and Friday, me and my husband on off Thursday. so they will go to daycare on Friday..
my kid also has 3 days off from his school. last year only 2 days off. i think most schools (no matter private or public) have 3 days off this year in CA. i only know there's a school have the whole week off, becoz they have parents-teachers conference for 2 days before the holiday.
initially i planned to order turkey dinner. however, we got a free turkey coupon from the Chinese supermarket when we shopped for grocery on Saturday. they usually gave u the deli's coupons when you spent over a certain amount. but i was surprised that they offered the coupon for a whole cooked turkey when we spent over $100! i was told that it'll be about 10-15 lbs. hopefully it won't too bad ...
