Derek might have gone a bit overboard with the food. There's a huge spread with two turkeys and giant bowls of sides. There are mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams, green bean casserole, and all the staples. The tables are straining under the weight, and Derek has to smile a little. His mother would be proud of the spread he put out, and he hopes everyone likes it.

He had enough help getting everything ready that he had enough time to run to Dimera and take a quick shower and change into something a little nicer. People seem to be enjoying themselves and each other, and that's all that Derek could have asked for. The food is good, the company is better, and for the first time in awhile, Derek feels utterly content.
