3. Incorporate some Thanksgiving decorations You don’t need to go all-out with a floor-to-ceiling Pinterest-worthy Thanksgiving decor plan (though feel free if that’s your thing!). But a few well-chosen details will go a long way. String up some fairy lights or plop some little pumpkins on the table as centrepieces. Head to your craft store and grab some burlap for a makeshift table runner. Collect fall leaves and incorporate them into your place settings. 4. Open your house up early Avoid having people arrive just as the turkey’s due to hit the table, as it creates a bit of a rushed mood. Instead, have them come an hour or two early. Have light snacks and drinks available, the game on the TV, and games/activities set up for any kids. Though it sounds stressful to have people around when you’re in the peak busy-period in the kitchen, it may help to keep the evening relaxed. It means you won’t feel pressure to have Thanksgiving dinner on the table right as people are arriving. It allows your guests to soak in the smells and the little decor details in your home. And it offers an opportunity for people to lend a hand in the kitchen!
