Simple Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas

Thanksgiving Day is a family tradition we all look forward to each year.  Family gatherings are orchestrated to collectively give thanks to the Creator and feast on traditional Thanksgiving food like turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, green vegetables, yams, potato or pumpkin pies! I can't wait. To create memories of a lifetime, let's make decorating for Thanksgiving part of the tradition!

Decorating is always fun; especially when it incorporates the simple, the ordinary, and the natural things in life. Here's a few decorating tips to consider when celebrating this family day!


6 Simple Thanksgiving Day Decorating Tips


1. Fill a glass apothecary jar with colorful red, orange, and yellow leaves from trees in your yard or artificial ones will do as well.

2. For more pizazz, spread some of those leaves on the table; what a fantastic way to add color to your tablescape!

3. Fill a white (or whatever color you have) ceramic bowl with pinecones, fruit, and/or leaves. Pine cones are naturally scented, but can be purchased with a stronger pine scent if desired. This will be a great holiday addition to your fireplace mantle, dining table, side table, coffee table or in the hall entryway.

4. While cooking your Thanksgiving feast, place a few cinnamon sticks in a small pot of water and simmer on a low heat. The aroma alone says 'Thanksgiving'!

5. To add ambience, turn all your lamps on, and light a few candles on your serving table or the dining room table.

6. Last, but certainly not least, enjoy the day with family & friends, and take lots of pictures!

Happy Holidays!
