Thanksgiving
decorations give any décor a needed touch to achieve
the Turkey Day look one desires.
In fact,
having the appropriate Thanksgiving decorations may make or
break any Thanksgiving meal, so be careful to choose wisely.
For instance,
you could use Thanksgiving decorations such as a turkey made
from the handprint of your child, or a few small squashes
or even a few candles shaped like pilgrims. But, why would
you want to?
|
Instead, you can be more creative and give your household festival
the look and feel of the days when the pilgrims sat down with the
Native Americans and feasted on wild game and organic vegetables.
One of the Thanksgiving decorations you may wish to employ is the
hat.
Make all of your guests for Turkey Day wear authentic pilgrim hats
and hand them out at the door. Of course another idea for Thanksgiving
decorations is to break it down by gender and give the males pilgrim
hats and the female Indian headbands to wear.

Another way to use Thanksgiving decorations to make your meal more
authentic is to use live animals and slaughter them in the backyard
before the feast. From a nearby farm buy a turkey, goose and deer
and put the men to work, drinking alcoholic beverages and slaying
the wild beasts as men did in days of yore.
The women on the other hand will have to clean and prepare the
wild game so alcoholic beverages may be required for this task as
well. For those who hold their feasts outdoors, another Thanksgiving
decoration that can be used to make the celebration more authentic
is snow, real snow.
Putting whole stalks of corn or maize in the living room is another
Thanksgiving decoration that will go over big. Other Thanksgiving
decorations that may go over well with the guests include putting
Puritanical verse upon the napkins, filling the sidewalk with squash
and pumpkins and bringing an authentic Native American to dinner
in full costume. You may even wish to rub it in about how the Pilgrim
population prospered while the Native Americans declined. No social
faux paux here!
