Right after Halloween, the hanging ghosts are taken down, the tangled spider webs are discarded, and costumes are kept in the closet once more. Seeing the decors removed can be sad but they are signs that another holiday is coming! Thanksgiving. It’s the time of the year where we switch the frowning Jack o’ Lanterns to smiling pumpkins. The autumn leaves are falling and a warm cup of coffee is calling. It’s such a beautiful holiday after a holiday of horrors.
Having your family members with you on this day is one thing to be thankful for among many other reasons. Of course, you would want to make this a special day for special people in a special way. But, if you’re a busy person or if you haven’t recovered from Halloween yet, you might be ready to go into panic mode and grab anything you can your hands on in the grocery. You might be ready to toss any kind of decor on the furniture and bring all the expensive dishes out of anxiety. And then a few minutes until your relatives arrive, you realize that everything is a mess. Wait! Stop and breathe for a moment. We’re here to help. Here’s a list of things you can do to spice up your thanksgiving without much effort so you don’t have to go berserk on a beautiful Thanksgiving day.
- Find new ways to decorate the table
The Thanksgiving dinner is probably the most awaited part of the day. Everyone is excited to dig into the turkey and mashed potatoes. Seeing a neat and well-arranged table will boost everyone’s mood and your efforts will be much appreciated. Search up thanksgiving table decor ideas and find the most feasible decor. Using charcuterie boards, making salami rosettes, or doing simple plating will also help a lot. If you aren’t blessed with the gift of cooking really good food, you can cover it up with a really good presentation (trust us, no one will question your cooking after this).
- Don’t over decorate your house
Sometimes having less is more. I know you might be tempted to throw all the decors everywhere but try to keep the shimmer and glimmer lowkey. Save it for Christmas and save your breath from putting them up and taking them down later. Everyone will be looking at the Thanksgiving table anyway so don’t tire yourself. Instead, have a more simplistic yet elegant approach. You can try using candles and jars, a simple wreath made with the leaves and branches outside, or printable turkey cut-outs if you’re expecting children to be there.

- Color code your outfits
If you don’t have the time or will to decorate your house, be the decoration yourselves! Color code your outfits to the theme of autumn. Think orange, yellow, red, brown, or white. Color-coordinated outfits are cute to look at and they are sure to brighten the atmosphere in your home.
- Have a Photoshoot
Get your phones and or cameras ready for a photoshoot! The autumn leaves of this cozy season are the best backdrop you will ever have. If you color-coordinated your outfits, it will be even better. If you have some props in the storage, you can put them to use too. Set up a photo booth or a picture-taking station indoors and outdoors and have some fun. If you enjoy taking portraits for Instagram, this is the perfect time to do so!
- Try new recipes
Sometimes all it takes to spice things up is to add something new. Find a simple recipe you can do from your grandmother’s cookbook or the internet and try it out. You can also try to incorporate Thanksgiving recipes from other countries and cultures. Add more fun and excitement but getting your family members to help.
- Make “Thank you” Cards
The heart of Thanksgiving is to be grateful. No matter how old we are, we will always be thankful for the people who have watched us grow into the people we are today. Making cards is not an activity exclusively for children. Adults can do it too! Take a moment to sit down in the living room or around a bonfire and make pour out your heart in words on paper. It may be awkward at first but it will warm your heart to know that you have touched someone’s heart.
- Have a pie-making (and eating) contest
After the turkey, pie is the most awaited part of the Thanksgiving dinner but we know that making pie takes a lot of effort and time. Cut the hassle by making it a friendly competition. Allow everyone to have a hands-on activity and to explore their creativity by making their pies. Pie eating contests can also be very fun if you won’t be bothered by the mess.
Takeaway
Thanksgiving is a fun season. It’s a time to relax and spend time with your family, not to stress out and panic. Instead of making your life complicated, try these simple steps to spice up your Thanksgiving with less hassle. Enjoy!
