Introduction
It's that time of the year again. Thanksgiving has been a long time tradition in many homes across America. It's a day to kick back, relax, watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and football, and - best of all - eat a home-cooked Turkey Dinner with family and friends.
It's been tradition in your family that your great-aunt prepares the Thanksgiving feast, however she has suddenly fallen ill with a horrible case of the flu! In fact, so has the entire family...EXCEPT YOU!
You realize that if Thanksgiving dinner is to go on, it is up to you to pull it off! This will be a Thanksgiving to remember!
