Ask anyone what their favorite holiday is and you’ll hear echoes of “Christmas,” “Thanksgiving,” and “Halloween” fill the room. The fall–winter season is easily one of the most exciting times of the year.
Once you get a good grasp on the history of Thanksgiving, you can be mindful of the pain of indigenous communities, reflect on the lives lost, and come together on the fourth Thursday of November with a more nuanced understanding of the holiday. Alongside preparing Thanksgiving dinner and practicing gratitude, give back to Native Americans by donating to indigenous-rights organizations and supporting Native-owned U.S. businesses.
In addition, make sure your space looks more fall-friendly! Here are some additions you can make to your home before Thanksgiving.
Fall-Themed Décor
Hosting a lockdown-friendly Thanksgiving dinner? Make sure your space looks the part!
Indulge in fall-themed décor, including minimalist pumpkins and fall candles. Try to incorporate more earthy colors into your space—soft brown, white, deep green, maple orange, and auburn are all great options. Add these touches to your living room, dining hall, and interior entryway.
You can also decorate your exterior entryway to spruce up your curb! The more, the merrier. Place multi-sized pumpkins along your driveway for a gorgeous touch of fall bliss.
