I don't know that recess appointments are really something that needs to be covered up. It has a storied history (our second Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was a recess appointment not trusted by the senate, was widely considered insane and then attempted suicide before resigning from the court after the senate again refused to confirm him) and Clinton and Bush have, over the last 16 years made it pretty much standard practice, doing it 300 times or so.
But if Reid can keep a quorum in Washington over the Thanksgiving break, then good for him.
