Open House: Your Thanksgiving Décor
Now that the turkey has been stuffed, slow-cooked, and sliced into nice, juicy pieces, and the pumpkin pies are long gone, perhaps along with your guests, I thought I'd get the intel on your Thanksgiving décor. If you were a host this holiday, how did you decorate? Did you simply dress the dinner tables, or did other areas of your home undergo a festive facelift as well?
Midday Muse: The True Meaning of Thanksgiving
This year, some friends are volunteering on Thanksgiving Day to cook dinner for the parents of children staying at a Ronald McDonald House. Last year other friends spent time filling boxes at a food bank the day before Thanksgiving for families in need. One of my family members also makes it a point to volunteer during holiday weekends at animal shelters, since the dogs and cats get fewer visitors over those days.
Do You Spend Time Outdoors at Thanksgiving?
After Thanksgiving dinner, I love to take a steaming cup of coffee outside and sit in the backyard to reflect on the holiday. My family also often takes a stroll through our neighborhood to work off some of our holiday dinner. Do you spend any time in your backyard or neighborhood after Thanksgiving dinner?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wherever you are this year, I hope that you are enjoying a happy Thanksgiving holiday. I hope that today, your holiday is filled with delicious food, fun friends, and happy family. This year I'm thankful for so many things and so many people who have made my life happy and fulfilling.

Will There Be a Centerpiece on Your Thanksgiving Table?
As much as I love a festive centerpiece, at my house, the Thanksgiving table is usually overflowing with dishes and a sizable turkey of course, leaving little room for decoration. So, tall taper candlesticks are a good ole standby with minimal footprint, which I like to liven up with cranberry garlands. How about you?Source

Can You Guess When This Thanksgiving Happened?
Life magazine has recently stocked Google Images full of its iconic photos of American life. I've been poring over these historical images for hours at a time, and when I stumbled across some Thanksgiving images, I thought I'd test your historical knowledge (or guessing ability!). Since you loved my Guess the Decade quiz so much, I figured you'd equally adore this Thanksgiving decade quiz.
