Holidays may be the season for sharing dreams, but it’s difficult to feel grateful when you remember the usual hassles accompanying this holiday. Cooking is the largest dilemma and in most cases, it unfortunately falls on just one or two women’s shoulders to prepare a huge spread for the entire family. And then there’s the matter of preparing the house to accommodate all visiting friends and loved ones.
