Thanksgiving is a classic holiday enjoyed by families throughout the nation; one that is frequently celebrated with a bountiful party playlist.
Thanksgiving songs should evoke a feeling of warmth and sentiment in the listener, while still being a whole lot of fun. They could include:
Thanksgiving Song by Mary Chapin Carpenter
The Turkey Song (Except for the Turkey) by Bryant Oden
Thank You by Alanis Morisette
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come by Henry Alford
Thank You for Loving Me by Bon Jovi
Ten Thousand Thanks To Jesus by Matilda C. Day
Lone Pilgrim by Bob Dylan
Mayflower by Vangelis
Long Tall Glasses by Leo Sayer (makes mention of a feast)
On the Mayflower by John Riggio
Thanksgiving party supplies make another nice addition to any Turkey Day fest. These could include elegant cornucopias (or, what the heck, why not a crazy paper mache turkey?) as centerpieces, pilgrim salt and pepper shakers, leaf-shaped placemats, wall art that depicts a drawn or painted rendering of the Mayflower, and take-home party favors that include paper pilgrim hats, miniature chocolate turkeys, and dried, decorated corn stalks. Tableware should come in theme-appropriate fall colors like brown, bronze and gold.
Guests will be ‘thankful’ for a top notch Thanksgiving party!
Creative suggestion: Avoid waiting until the last minute to pick things out or pick them up, no need to add more stress. Everyone does not drink alcohol, be inclusive when planning a get-together and have a choice of drinks that include non-alcoholic opinions. When decorating a room to match a given theme or idea explore not just the horizontal space, but the vertical space as well.

In the United States, Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada, it is the second Monday in October. On this holiday, a Thanksgiving meal is prepared, and families gather together for various activities.
Thanksgiving Day originated on August 1620, when the Mayflower, a 180-ton ship, set sail from Southampton, England. After difficulties with the vessel, resulting in her return to port, finally the voyage began. One hundred and three passengers were to become some of the founding pilgrims of the United States of America, and the creators of one of this nation’s most popular holidays.
After weeks on the tumultuous Atlantic waters, battling strong winds, pounding waves, and a number of problems with their vessel, the pilgrims spotted Cape Cod, off the coast of Massachusetts. Another storm was brewing, so strongly, that they arrived there by accident. Their intended location was off the Virginia coast, where other pilgrims had begun colonies.
Before anchoring at Plymouth Rock and disembarking to explore the territory, the pilgrims devised the “Mayflower Compact” to serve as the basis for governing their new colony, where everyone would have the freedom to worship God as they chose.
The next few months would prove to be difficult and trying. Of the original 103 pilgrims, only 56 survived the first winter. Often, two or three people would die in a day, due to infection and sickness, but, with spring came new hope. The survivors built homes and planted crops. They made friendships with local Indian tribes, and traded with them. The passing of winter allowed the pilgrims to labor and produce, causing the colony to flourish.
After reaping their first harvest in the fall of 1621, the pilgrims dedicated a day for thanking God for the bounty with which He had blessed them. Their governor, William Bradford, proclaimed a day of thanksgiving towards God. They prepared a great feast to enjoy with family and friends—both from within the colony and with neighboring Indian tribes. You can celebrate your Thanksgiving with a lovely dinner and some families begin the day watching the fun football games on television.
In 1817, the state of New York adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual holiday. By the mid-1800s, other states likewise adopted the practice. In 1863, President Lincoln appointed it as a national holiday, and gave a Thanksgiving proclamation, and each president since then has issued a proclamation, announcing the celebration of this day.
