Thanksgiving Table Talk
Thanksgiving is usually a holiday that we spend staying on the ranch. We always say, the animals don’t take holidays, so we do our morning chores and make the rounds to feed them before we start preparing our big dinner.
I have a bunch of shibori-dyed cloths and I like to spread one out down the center of the table for special dinners. I send the kids to gather some flowers, greens, and small branches to put in a pretty pitcher, and finish off the table with some candles.
We really don’t overthink it… I believe it’s so important to relax and enjoy celebrations. It’s about the people so much more than making sure things look prim and proper.
Whether you’re with a big group of people, or just a few close friends and family this year… I hope that you find some time to connect with those around you. I gathered up some fun prompts to kick off a ‘Thanksgiving Table Talk’ discussion with your crew this year :)
