I just bought a lot of Fall/Harvest decorations on clearance today (I love clearance). And I figure I can put them up until Thanksgiving and then replace them with Christmas decorations.

I never decorated for Fall before, so whens the right time to take them down and put up Christmas?
I dont feel the Christmas spirit till after Thanksgiving, so no worries there. I was just curious if the fall ones would be good up to Thanksgiving. Thanks guys

Any days after Thanksgiving..sometimes ppl decorate for Cmas on thanksgiving as a ‘family tradition’

I am headed to a Thanksgiving dinner with some friends. We’ll have the usual pumpkin pie and apple pie, but I have been asked to bring another dessert. Since there will be at least 8 kids under the age of 7, I wanted to make my dessert something fun that they would enjoy. Perhaps some fun cupcakes or cookies….but I would like ideas for decorating them to make them kid-friendly, fun and creative. Thanks!
I think cupcakes or cookies are definitely the way to go…thanks!….how about any creative ideas for decorating them?

These are fun & easy & kids love them
These delightful little turkeys, with chocolate and caramel bodies, striped chocolate cookie feathers, and candy corn beaks, make wonderful little treats for kids to make as place settings for the holiday table.

Ingredients
Microwave
Bag of candy corn (beak and eyes)
Bag of caramel candy squares (body)
Bag of Dove chocolate (base/feet)
Bag of striped chocolate cookies (tail and feathers)
Thanksgiving cupcake liners
Microwavable plate
Cooking Instructions
Unwrap a piece of Dove chocolate to use as the base of the turkey. Place it on a microwavable plate.
Unwrap a piece of caramel and stick on top of the Dove chocolate bar for the turkey’s body.
Take a piece of candy corn and push it down on top of the caramel (pointed end out). This will make the turkey’s beak.
Take another piece of caramel and push it down on top of the first caramel to make the head of the turkey.
Break off the little white tips off two pieces of candy corns and push them both into the top of the caramel for the turkey’s eyes. (see photo)
Take one striped chocolate cookie and apply to the back of the body to form the turkey’s feathers.
Put the turkey in the microwave for a about eight seconds just so that the candy and cookie can fuse together. (Watch this! Not too much time or it will melt.)
Place your turkey int the freezer for a few minutes to help it "set up" quicker.
Serve your tasty treat on Thanksgiving cupcake paper.

my sisters and i grew up in different homes.my husband and i moved away when we were first married .this will be our first Thanksgiving with both his family and my sisters and their families .they are all coming to our home this yr .i would love to have something for us all to do together.kind of bring our 2 families together …i was thinking i could ask everyone to help put up and decorate our tree .any other ideas ?

How about a ‘giving basket’ where everyone brings a non-perishable food item that can then be donated to your local Food Bank? Your idea of the tree thing is good, but go one step further and have each family bring a special ornament for the tree. When you take the tree down, make sure you put those ornaments in a special place and bring them again next year to whoever is hosting Thanksgiving to put on That tree, and to add any others that might become appropriate (say for a new member, etc.)

Garlands are great decorations for harvest time or Thanksgiving. Make a harvest garland Thanksgiving craft with a scrapbooking craftswoman in this free video on gifts and crafts.

For us, we are going to my husband’s parents house for Thanksgiving. Us girl are going to cook and the guys are going to split fire wood for a camp fire later on. We also make Thanksgiving cookies (ginger bread cookies cut out in the shape of leaves, acorns and turkeys!) and decorate them.

What unique things do you do?

We will just be staying home that is a tradition that we started years ago. Instead of arguing about where we are going for the day, we just eat at home.

Very peaceful around our house.
