It’s All in the Details!

Entertainment 1 Minute

The food at the Thanksgiving table is usually the star and focus of the event. But before the meal hits the table, guests usually arrive and the focus shifts momentarily to the table itself.  Some people love simple tables, some prefer elaborate settings.  But I think it’s a little over the top to have every place setting use 15 plates and attending silverware, because someone’s gotta do all those dishes and it’s usually me…so that’s a big NO for me!

Still some people prefer off the wall table decor…purple cornucopia and disco balls?

And nothing says Thanksgiving quite like blue pumpkins, right?

And THIS one? A definite NO from me.  I would never put lit candles near dried out grassy wheat (?) on a table where anyone can bump the table and start a 5 alarm fire.

There’s understated and then there’s laziness—letting the napkins drape off the table—like an afterthought. Another NO for me.

So, if you want to add some appeal to your Thanksgiving table, that’s cool, cute and easy to do…here’s a wonderful meme for folding your paper napkins into adorable turkeys.  And there’s plenty of time to practice before the big day!

PS: This is one idea I wished I had started years ago. You have every guest sign the tablecloth and then you stitch out the names.  This would have been an awesome keepsake. Sadly, our big Thanksgiving dinners are no more.

          1. I think it’s stupid.
            The knee guy wanted a cardiologist to look at her and talked about her meds.
            But that’s what her primary care doctor is for.
            Knee doctor was more worried about warfarin.
            Which ok but your the knee guy not her primary
            So her primary is like ummmm I’m not changing her meds and I will look at her ekg

            They were sooo backed up. They squeezed her in on the 27th but had I got a regular one it would have been February
            They said a cardiologist is more backed up.
            Crazy

            Our medical system is messed up
