From Donna Pilato, your Guide to Entertaining
I hope you had as much fun on Halloween as we did. Now it's time to begin planning for the biggest (and yummiest) entertaining season of the year. Have an Entertaining week!

Best Strategies for a Lower Stress Thanksgiving
I saw turkeys running in my neighborhood last week. It doesn't take a big imagination to guess what they're running from since Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. For Thanksgiving dinner hosts, the challenges of this holiday give us a reason to start running too. That's why now is the time to brush up on these 12 Best Strategies for a Lower Stress Thanksgiving.

A Little Thing You Can Do Today for Thanksgiving
The calendar flips over to November, and immediately I feel my pulse begin to race. We're in the busiest entertaining season of the year. Luckily there are a few things we can do right now to make our Thanksgiving preparations go a little more smoothly later this month. Here's a great tip from a reader of this site for how she begins to prepare early for this yummy holiday.

Do You Know the Most Important Place to Clean Before a Party?
If you're trying to streamline your pre-party cleaning efforts (and who isn't?) you need to focus on the most important areas of your home as you approach this task. And one of the most important places to clean up before your party is the powder room. After all, if the white gloves are going to come out, that's the one place guests can take a good, long look in private. Here are other cleaning tips as you prepare for a party.

Share Your Thanksgiving Challenges
Thanksgiving may be the most challenging dinner party many people will host all year. Between timing all of the courses so that they arrive hot and tasty to the table, to managing the family squabbles that go back many years, it can take great fortitude to pull off this holiday with grace and style. That's why we're inviting readers to share your greatest challenge when hosting the Thanksgiving feast, and your solution if you've managed to find one.
