Very nice stress-free schedule. I'll have to hold onto that for future reference! To be honest, I've never really paid much attention to the schedule of what goes in the oven when. Just followed the host's cues.
The only tip I have to make the day a little more stress free, is to make sure you plan for at least a little bit extra of everything. I don't know about you, but it's a pretty frequent occurrence in my family for dishes to get dropped or tipped over, meaning we lose whatever was in it. It's amazing what a negative impact losing something as simple as the cranberry sauce can have on the meal. If space allows, always try to have an extra can/jar/etc of goodies.

My mother, even if it was just the 5 of us, never got a turkey smaller than 24 lbs. And we had 2 extra casseroles- 3qts each- of stuffing, and we made 10# of potatoes, so we never had to worry about that!. I was brought up to expect the unexpected! And we always had leftovers. In fact, we lived 2miles from Sheriff's Patrol hqts, so for Thanksgiving and Christmas, my parents took dinner to the officers on duty because they couldn't leave and there was really nothing open anyway. So, I knew all the guys there, years before I ended up working for the sheriff's department!
