setting the stage

are you looking forward to an epic thanksgiving celebration? i know i am. as i mentioned earlier, it makes me sad that thanksgiving is the middle child of the holiday season, overshadowed by it's siblings halloween and Christmas. poor thanksgiving. in an effort to boost thanksgiving's self esteem, i am attempting to help you all set the stage for your own celebrations. how? by making a list of course.

awesome list of things that you can do to make thanksgiving feel better about itself:

1. plan your menu
2. make handprint turkeys
3. tell the true story of the first thanksgiving
4. dress up like a pilgrim
5. dress up your home too. thankgivingy colors ought to do the trick
6. break out the fine china for the big day
7. schedule a "turkey bowl"
8. exaggerate like crazy when you tell the story of your "turkey bowl" win (even if you lost)
9. make leaf prints. hurry before all the leaves get raked up!
10. make a list of your own. a gratitude list to be specific. this may take many forms. mine is on post its.

i will award 12 awesome points to anyone who sends me a picture of their participation in any one of these items.
