Are you hosting this year's Thanksgiving? Whether you're having a large gathering of friends or a small intimate meal with family, consider the following tips from WatermarkPointe.Delicious Dishes. Turn to beloved staples instead of trying something new day-of. If you are trying something new, test it out in advance to be sure you like the outcome.
Set the Stage. Bring some holiday spirit and cheer into your residence with some seasonal décor. Centerpieces, garlands, wreaths, and scented candles will add a festive element to the celebration. For a special touch, add a gratitude message board for guests to share the things they are thankful for this year! Simply set out a cork board, colorful pieces of paper, and a pen. Read your messages of gratitude around your cozy fireplace after your meal for a heartwarming new tradition.
Prep the Meal. One way to ensure less worry on Thanksgiving Day is by preparing ahead of time. Gather all ingredients for dishes and measure them out in advance. Chop vegetables the night before and store them in a plastic container in the refrigerator. Measure any spices you will use and store them in small bags or containers. Then, you can simply assemble the dishes and start cooking!
Plan Ahead. Setting the Thanksgiving table the night before can also buy you some extra time on Thanksgiving Day.
Get Outside. There's nothing like a pre-Thanksgiving dinner football game to whet everyone's appetite. Organize a game of flag-football before heading home for the grand feast.
Relax and Unwind. Plan some de-stressing activities for yourself post-holiday, like an evening in the tub or a massage.
