Thanksgiving decorations for your home and yard aren’t nearly as popular as those for Christmas and Halloween. Because of this, the stores carry much fewer decorations for Thanksgiving, and it’s much more difficult to get ideas merely by looking around you to see how others are decorating. Luckily, you have come to the right place, here you can find some of the best Thanksgiving themed decorations and party supplies to enable you to have a truly knockout Thanksgiving display this year!

Decorating homes on Thanksgiving, over the years, has come to form a significant part of the Thanksgiving celebrations. Thanksgiving decor not only imparts a festive look to Thanksgiving but also helps to keep everyone involved. There are so many Thanksgiving themed crafts online that you can try if you like making homemade decorations.  Also, to help keep children involved with this important and fun festival, there are a wide variety of Thanksgiving activities for kids that you can search Google for and have fun letting them help you decorating your home and yard.

Thanksgiving decorations add color to the celebration and a wonderful atmosphere to the famous traditional and festive dinner, such as one of the many Thanksgiving centerpieces available today, or some of the attractive Thanksgiving place mats that will both make your dinner table very memorable. There are so many various ideas on how to decorate homes during Thanksgiving, it’s interesting to see how they have evolved over the generations. Nowadays you can even buy adult Thanksgiving costumes and kids Thanksgiving costumes to wear to your Thanksgiving dinner!

Still, though, the main identifying elements are the Pilgrims, the native Indians of North America, pumpkins and gourds, cornucopia and of course the most important one – cooking the turkey!  These all remain to be at the center of most themes, however, the way they are presented can differ widely.

Historically, Thanksgiving Day is celebrated every year to commemorate the first feast of 1621 that the Pilgrims shared with the Wampanoag Indians.  Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.  However, Thanksgiving is not only a celebration of the pilgrims, it is also a celebration of the beauty of fall.

Fall leaves, both artificial and real, make wonderfully colorful table decorations. The splashes of red, yellow and orange will definitely brighten up any table. You can use them in a grouping, such as your main centerpiece, or you can place them randomly around the table as if they had just fallen from a tree.

Another aspect of Thanksgiving was that it was also started as a time to celebrate the harvest season. Thanksgiving was traditionally a time for enjoying the fruits of the labor from an entire season of growing and caring for crops of vegetables.

Over time, the Thanksgiving celebration has evolved and now enjoying that season might well mean using natural resources to make your home and yard more festive during the Thanksgiving holiday.  There are endless natural ways to add color and life to your Thanksgiving decorations.

Indoors:

• You can decorate your mantelpiece with anything from leaves to pine cones, also even sticks and branches can be used also. The best part about decorating with things you find outside is the cost,  it’s free!
• Also indoors would be the dinner table, and as I mentioned above, a spectacular Thanksgiving centerpiece and themed place mats are just the start… A great idea for an addition to your table are fresh cranberries. You can use a serving platter or decorative plate and just position a large pillar candle in the center. Then spread the fresh cranberries around the base of the candle.  Small pine cones are also a beautiful addition to this natural centerpiece.
• Grouping pumpkins and gourds together in the corner of a room or on a bench or dresser can also give your home a more colorful and festive feel for the Thanksgiving holiday.
• Don’t have time to make Thanksgiving place cards? You can write the names of your guests on mini pumpkins and use them for place cards, it looks really effective!
• A hollowed-out pumpkin filled with some common vegetables makes a great decoration. If you can find a tall narrow pumpkin, hollow it out, it will make an awesome vase for either real or artificial Fall colored flowers. (Tip: if you spray the  fruit/vegetable pumpkin arrangements with cooking oil it will give it a nice shine.)

Outdoors:

• A Thanksgiving door decoration would beautifying the home entrance such that it not only looks appealing but will also give your guests a warm Thanksgiving welcome.  You could buy a Thanksgiving wreath to hang on your door or make your own Autumn leaves wreath using a pre-made wreath shape you can purchase at any craft store and then using a glue gun to stick on leaves and also pine cones and berries that you can find in your yard.
• A group of pumpkins and gourds will also look great on your front porch.
• You can do some decorating with tree leaves that you can find in your yard -  So instead of treating them as garden waste, you can use them creatively to decorate your lawn. You just rake up the fallen leaves,  and then place them on top of a bale of hay or around a lamp post that has a corn stalk tied to it. The fall colored leaves look very appealing and original when contrasted with your green colored lawn.
• Fruits can also be placed on top of a bale of hay. Use fruits such as apples, oranges, grapes or even pears. Just keep in mind that fruits decompose much faster than vegetables do and so should only be kept out as decorations for only a short time before Thanksgiving.

There’s a lot more to Thanksgiving Day than just throwing a turkey in the oven and cooking and serving it. This year give thanks with style and enjoy the sumptuous Thanksgiving Feast with proper planning and decorations to make it a really memorable event.
