Tips & Tricks

Thanksgiving is special in its own right. Whether you're hosting or arriving as a guest for dinner, make the holiday extra warm this year.

  • Bring adorable turkey sugar cookies as a hostess gift, or use them as name cards at each place setting on the table.
  • Make the traditional must-haves, but jazz them up a bit. For example, add dried cranberries to candied yams, chopped chives to mashed potatoes, or toasted slivered almonds to green beans.
  • Enlist the aid of one of the older kids to serve fresh-ground pepper from a peppermill, restaurant style, on lettuce salad and plated dinners.
  • Wide black satin ribbon can be made to look like pilgrim belts with square paper "buckles" for holiday-appropriate napkin rings.
  • Place a copy of the original Thanksgiving Proclamation or a Thanksgiving hymn or poem at each place. Read or sing together to start dinner.
  • "Hire" older children to keep the little ones busy by reading Thanksgiving children's books while dinner is being prepared.
