Holidays may be the season for expressinggratitude, but it’s hard to feel grateful when you remember the usual hassles accompanying this holiday. Cooking is the biggest dilemma and in most cases, it unfairly 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.
