"Today&amp;#039;s Checklist  If you have a frozen turkey, move it from the freezer to the fridge to thaw out. Thaw frozen make-aheads, like that piecrust you made last week.  Set out your serving dishes and utensils and label them with Post-it notes (e.g., &amp;quot;Brussels sprouts here&amp;quot;).  Enlist the spouse or kids to make place cards, wash platters, and polish silver. That way, they&amp;#039;ll be free to run errands or take out the trash the night before or the morning of the big day. (Once silver is clean, wrap it in tissue and then place in airtight plastic bags to keep it tarnish-free.)  Sharpen knives \u2014 and not just the turkey carver. All your kitchen work will go more smoothly.  Decide what music to play. Need some recommendations? Check out our Thanksgiving playlist.  Charge up your hand vac (or just locate your broom and dustpan) \u2014 so you&amp;#039;re ready to cope with those unavoidable spills.  Prep any ingredients that will last for two to three days, like chopped onions or fried bacon for the stuffing.  As you did over the weekend, continue to make dishes than can be frozen or stored until Thanksgiving Day.
