Here are the most important things I need to remember for next year's Thanksgiving, assuming it's the same process as it's been for the past four years:
1. Whatever can go wrong will go wrong with your work internet connectability. Take as many back up wi-fi-my-fi hotspot thingamajiggers you can find and keep your IT guy on speed dial.
2. Stop packing "cute" clothes for your trip. You want stretchy pants and hoodies almost the entire time you're here, not blazers and jeans. You'll wear the same one constantly and gross everybody out again if you don't bring more sweats.

This has been me every Thanksgiving night for the past four years now:
