Just adding up how much turkey day is going to cost: total of 7 people coming at this point.
2 boxes of mashed potatoes (have already)
ice cream (left over from dh bday)
turkey ($9 with /$25 purchase at VONS)
stuffing ($3)
sparkling cider ($6 on sale at Big Lots)
Beer (off brand but ok, bil will probably bring the good stuff $10)
pumpkin and pecan "birthday" pies ($10)
cranberry sauce (3.00)
veggies ($6.00)
all important black olives for my fingers ($4)
pumpkin jar candle (4.50 half off 
)
Total: 55.50 (I budgeted $70 so now some extra money goes into savings yeah!)
thanksgiving flowers (free--got a beautiful bouquet as an early bday present from my secretaries)
will do a centerpiece with leaves from our trees, the bouquet and candle on a white tablecloth
Also DH found a lovely little mission coffe table that someone who was moving threw out yesterday, top needs refinishing (which we won't have time to do) but throw another table cloth on it and it can hold the extra food!
Also I just found out that everyone at work is taking me to lunch early for my bday today (most everyone here is taking off early for tday) Yah, love free food.
