7 Must Have Items For Thanksgiving Table Decor

If you are having Thanksgiving at your house this year

, then you know it's one of those special occasions where going all out is especially important. You'll be having family and friends coming that you've not seen in a long time, in some cases you may not have seen them since last Thanksgiving. You know you'll be spending days in the kitchen preparing food and making the perfect turkey and dressing means either digging out Mom's recipe or going online and sorting through all kinds of online cooking sites for a good one. A great way to share in the holiday spirit is with great Thanksgiving table dcor and other decorations around your home.

The most important part of Thanksgiving is spent at the table, even though there are some who think the nap on the couch watching football is important as well, so having great holiday decorations on your table sets things off just right.

Here are some things you will definitely want to have on your Thanksgiving decoration list:

1. Having a great centerpiece like a cornucopia, or a 'horn of plenty' is very symbolic for this time of year, giving everyone the opportunity to appreciate their own good fortune as well as family and friends to share it with.

2. Themed plates are another way to add to the Thanksgiving theme and looks great as Thanksgiving table dcor as well.

3. Napkins with a Thanksgiving theme are two-fold. A place to wipe the cranberry sauce you got on your sleeve and another touch of fun to the occasion.

4. Gourds and small pumpkins sitting around on end tables and even the coffee table makes for festive decoration.

5. If you really want to have a great Thanksgiving scene, try dressing up your tables with carefully arranged hay and pumpkins.

6. Wreaths laying on a table with candles in the middle is another great looking centerpiece you can use for Thanksgiving table dcor.

7. Perhaps the most important table dcor to have will be all of the great food you prepared because nothing makes a table more appealing than having great food like the turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes and green beans. This kind of decoration is what everyone wants to see.

Thanksgiving is the time of year when getting together with friends and family to share the happiness and good fortune of the last year makes for a great time. Sharing a great meal with people you truly care for and enjoying good food and good conversation or even falling asleep on the couch while watching the traditional football match-ups is what Thanksgiving is all about. All the effort of cooking, setting up great Thanksgiving table dcor and even having to travel is definitely worth it.
