Whether you are hosting for a family of five or fifteen in
your cozy home, throwing a Thanksgiving party can be extremely intimidating. No
need to quit the idea of entertaining cold turkey. If you follow these four C’s
of Thanksgiving, you will be sure to have a warm and welcome home for all to
enjoy.
Cleaning – Making sure your entire house is spick and span
before your guests arrive can be a challenge, especially if you have little
ones running around. Focusing on cleaning your home one room at a time can
relieve the overwhelming stress of fall-cleaning. Make it simple, start near
your front door and work your way back. Another way to get things done efficiently
is to vacuum and dust while your turkey is cooking in the oven! A watched turkey never cooks!
Creating – Fall decorations and centerpieces for your family
table are a great way to set a fun and festive atmosphere. If you’re no Martha Stewart, don’t worry, holiday
decorating is now easier and more affordable than ever with an abundance of DIY
crafts all over the internet .
Cooking – From stuffing the perfect turkey to mashing the
perfect sweet potatoes, cooking the most delectable Thanksgiving dinner is a
tall order and can take hours of preparation. More importantly, it can also be
a time for experimenting with new recipes and showing off your inner top chef!
Whether you are making a traditional turkey or a veggie tofurkey, be thankful
for all that you have on your table to eat.
Caring – The most important thing about Thanksgiving is not
whether your house is clean or your turkey is basted to perfection, but rather
that your friends and family are around to celebrate with you. Giving thanks
together is the ultimate gift, but topping that off with a beautifully decorated
table with gourds and gobbles of food is just the cherry on top of your apple
pie.
Be thankful for all that you have and all that you are able
to give this Thanksgiving. The rest will fall right into place!
