So, I feel bad for Thanksgiving. I kinda think it gets the short end of the stick every year. Because as soon as Halloween is over, BAM! It’s all about Christmas. {And let’s face it: Christmas has even started creeping out of the woodwork well before Halloween recently.} I literally saw a Christmas commercial on TV at 8:15 a.m. on November 1.
I mean, poor Thanksgiving! What did it ever do to make everyone skip right from Halloween to Christmas? All it ever wanted to do was get families together to celebrate the things they’re thankful for and eat some turkey. Why it became the red-headed stepchild of the holiday world is beyond me.
**steps off soapbox**
Ahem. So, anyway. I have decided to do my best to celebrate Thanksgiving all month long, and today I am bringing you 80 Thanksgiving ideas, crafts, printables, home decor inspirations, projects and more.
And if this isn’t enough for you {sheesh, you ask for a lot}, then check out my Thanksgiving Crafts and Decor Pinterest board! Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and be inspired!

What a great roundup! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! It does get skipped!! Thanks so much for including my hand stamped utensils! Off to check out the other great ideas!
Antionette Blake says
I know what you mean, but if you look on the shelves above the “Back to School” supplies you will see “Halloween” decorations and above them will be “Christmas Decorations”. After Thanksgiving, look up and see the “Valentine’s Decorations” for as soon as Christmas is over they are on the shelves! Have a great week and Happy Easter!
Corinne says
