Waiting around until time to head out to go eat. We aren't cooking Thanksgiving at home this year but rather going out and forcing others to work on the holiday. We are hitting up a buffet so there will be more than anyone can eat and no clean up... but no leftovers, either.
My grandparents are the only ones with a house big enough to fit the whole family, so they used to do the xmas cooking each year. But they're nearly 85 now and find it too tiring, so we went out for an Xmas meal the past 3 years. It's really nice and chilled out affair as there is no tidying up. Downside is, unsurprisingly, restaurants charge like $150 per head for a starter main and desert on Xmas day. It's nice having no clearing up to do though. After the meal we usually head back to my grandparents where we all bring simple food like xmas themed cakes and savories, things that are easier to cook
