So it's technically *not* a dream, but one of my life goals has been to cook Thanksgiving dinner (the turkey, the ham, the gravy, and stuffing, etc.). It looks like I'll have a shot of fulfilling this goal next week. 

Thing is, I know absolutely nothing at all. Anybody got some tips? Any particular recipes work out well for you guys?

I'm not kidding, but I received "fan" submissions to roycanhascheezburger.com: (first two courtesy of the juice, last 4 by tone-x). i'm not sure how to feel about these. given how much self-centered crap i write, it's probably good to balance it out with some humility:

There have been some murmurs lately. "Roy, are you gonna do those Christmas photos again?"

If you missed it, I went to Sears photo studio last year to make the most ridiculous Christmas cards ever:

Note the awesome women's Christmas sweater, the ridiculous hand pose, and the super awkward smile

I'm honestly NOT sure how to top these cards this year. I've been trying to figure out what else I could possibly do ... any ideas would be greatly appreciated - remember I'm shameless and I'll do nearly anything.
