Southern Thanksgiving Eve

On Thanksgiving eve, my mother and I did a lot of cooking so we could have as much done ahead of time as possible. After that was done, the rest of the family began to arrive. We prepared chili and all the fixins for everyone to have as they arrived. Easy and delicious and now we are read for the big day!
