The stress of hosting Thanksgiving could be enough to lose the holiday spirit. Scrambling around the cupboard for the old family recipes, making sure you have enough chairs, and scouring the supermarket for all the right ingredients are just at the beginning of the to-do list.

This may seem like such a minor detail in the stressful process of party planning, but it is the first thing your guests will see upon arriving at your humble abode!
Keep your usual centerpiece in the attic this Thanksgiving because a beautiful and intricate table setting will mean so much more when coming from your own two hands!
