"Hello, I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to set your table for Thanksgiving Day dinner. What happens if you decided to have Thanksgiving at your place? You think you can handle the cooking but the idea of having to clean up or even just switching out plates during courses becoming incredible overwhelming. Well there is an option you can always get help, if you hire someone to help with just the dishes this can make Thanksgiving dinner go a lot more smoothly. Say if you don't have enough flatware even you have twenty something people over for dinner chances are you are not going to have enough for both dessert and dinner. So having somebody in the back behind the scenes washing up stuff for you can really make a big difference in your stress level. It also makes a difference if say only if you have a salad plates and not dessert plates then you can have the person wash up the salad plates in between courses and then you have dessert plates when it's time for dessert. This isn't an option for everybody but also if you have an incredible large group of people maybe someone will help chip in and it makes a big difference when you're cleaning up afterwards. If you don't have to face the mountain of dishes all by yourself."
