Thanksgiving decorations

Do you put up decorations for Thanksgiving. I have only one ... Jim Shore's Count your Blessings pumpkin. I noticed the stores have already moved into Christmas with their decorations and completely forgot about Thanksgiving. We should all remember to be thankful.

@chessygal That is perfect and in truth, all you need.

"Count your blessings" indeed.

I don't do decorations very often but I love that one and would proudly display it.

Yes! It's mostly fall with a few Halloween (which I try to remember to remove for Nov) thrown in.

I have my front porch, table in the foyer, mantle and side table in the dining room....I enjoy decorating for the seasons!

I don't have any decorations that are specifically for Thanksgiving. Rather, I have a wide variety of pumpkins (no jack-o-lanterns) that I put out for October and November.

I mostly decorate with pumpkins and fall leaves, but I do have a few "Thanksgiving" items.

A Jim Shore Cornucopia

A set of two stacking pumpkins--the smaller top one says "Give", the bottom one says "Thanks" (bought all these items at the Q)

A small resin turkey that goes nicely on a hall table

A vintage ceramic soup tureen shaped like a turkey that goes on my hearth once Halloween is over and the jack o'lantern is put away.

yes I do--I decorate the fireplace mantle mostly. I live in a very small apt and that is what room I have. I use seasonal plates alot--from fiestaware, and from Cost plus and /or Home goods--bought plate hangers to put a few on the walls. I have various pumpkins of different sizes/shapes and stick candles and somewhere------I have fake autumn leaf garlands and a lovely table runner that I use too. I mostly decorate in Sept with the autumn theme that carries me thru to Dec---and just add in halloween and t-day as needed.

@chessygal Oooh, very nice JS Thanksgiving pumpkin!🎃

Yes, I do.

I have early fall decor that comes out gradually, both at my door, and inside. That segues into some Halloween added the week of Halloween. Just a few touches.

Now through Thanksgiving I change it up to what I consider my Thanksgiving mood.

So outside wreath goes from early fall foliage/grapevine wreath and fall hanging to to my more jewel toned, foliage/greenery/Thanksgiving wreath. My table I switch from earth toned foliage/pumpkin fall setting to more jewel toned mats added to it. That's the way everything stays until Thanksgiving, and then comes Christmas.

I always say this but it works so well for me...I'm in CT...my dining table is in an open living/dining setting and surrounded by one wall of sliders and a big side window...so the outside foliage, season changing and colors, dictate and blend with what I do inside, and when I do it. It all works together.

Speaking of counting blessings...the hanging I put at my door changes from early fall "Harvest Welcome" to now a pumpkin (that was my mom's, so it's a nod to her) that says "Today is a Blessing." 🧡

I love that Jim Shore pumpkin.

I don't have Thanksgiving decs. I have mums and real pumpkins on my front stoop and an orange berry wreath on my front door. Fall wreath in the entryway. I add a few Halloween decs but take them down Nov 1st. I'll leave the fall decs out till after Thanksgiving then put up my Christmas decs.

Years ago I had a wooden turkey door decoration - don't know what happend to it.

I have a ceramic turkey that I made years ago too - it's put away somewhere.

I agree we rush into Christmas too quickly.

I just do fall decorations...then after Thanksgiving, I go to my Christmas decor. I must say, however, that Jim Shore pumpkin is sure tempting me!!

@chessygal

I love your pumpkin, it's the perfect single decoration!

All I do is take down my spooky Halloween decor and leave the pumpkins and acorns, etc that I already have in place. I need to do that today....ugh!

I don't have specific Thanksgiving decorations. Instead I have harvest and autumn items in my home this time of year. I have a decorative grapevine wreath on my front door and another one in my sunroom. I have 2 velvet pumpkins, and a few leaf, floral, and berry arrangements scattered through the house. I also have autumn placemats and a tablecloth.

Happy Autumn and Thanksgiving! 🍁 🦃

I don't put out decorations for Thanksgiving, but I do enjoy seeing them.

I completely agree, remember to be thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Garden flag, dish towels with pumpkins, and a harvest theme tablecloth are the only decor at my house. Not a big fan of this stuff.
