Thanksgiving Decorations: Show Your Fall Spirit

 

If you care at all about infusing your home or your Thanksgiving gathering with the spirit of the holiday, Thanksgiving decorations are a must. Thanksgiving decorations are fun for not only you and your family, but also for your neighbors and friends. Themes for 

Thanksgiving includes turkeys, pilgrims, fall foliage, pumpkins, and harvest items. In general, the colors are the natural fall foliage colors of oranges, browns, yellows, and black. You can have decorations for the table (placemats, coasters, etc.) and the walls of your house (pictures, tapestries, etc.). Windows and doors are especially nice places to display Thanksgiving decorations because they lend a warm and welcoming atmosphere to your home that's quite fitting for the season.

Since Thanksgiving decorations can sometimes be hard to find, keep in mind the holiday's color scheme of oranges, yellows, tans, and the like. This way, if you find items that aren't Thanksgiving decorations per se, they can still add to the overall decoration scheme.

Fall foliage and fall harvest items are popular. Pumpkins, of course, are popular, as are dried corn on the cobs.

Thanksgiving crafts are also popular in preschools and elementary schools across the country. Using your children's creations is another fun way to not only decorate but also to include them in the festive preparations for the holiday.

The Thanksgiving table is also an important arena to display your Thanksgiving decorations.

Thanksgiving is an emotional and busy time for many people, so plan well ahead when purchasing Thanksgiving decorations.

Decorating your home both inside and outside is a great way to spread the feelings of warmth and gratitude the holiday has traditionally embraced.
