Cheap Thanksgiving Decor

Decorating for Thanksgiving can be as easy as walking out the front door.  Much of the decorations you can use can be found in the yard.  Multicolored leaves, pine cones, dried out corn stalks...last months pumpkins if they are still good and not smashed on the road:)  Decorating for Thanksgiving can be as cheap as where you shop.  Consignment shops and the local Dollar Store are great places to find cheap decorations.  Foliage is a big way to decorate for this month, you cannot go wrong with fall colors.

Thanksgiving Blues

This is a month of happiness but could be a month of sadness for many.  There are people out there that have no one to spend this holiday with and this may cause deep depression and suicidal thoughts.  We do not want any unhappy people spending this time of year alone and broken hearted.  Here are some alternatives to spending this holiday season alone.

1.Volunteer your time at a food drive, collecting food for those who are less fortunate.

2.Volunteer your time at a homeless shelter/community center/church that serves Thanksgiving dinner to the homeless.

3.Go to church.

4.Volunteer your time at the retirement/assisted living homes and spend time with the old folks...they need love too.  Some of the elderly that live in these places don't have family that come to see them, for some reason or other.  They would love to see you.

5. Volunteer at the hospital and help pass out meals or just spend time with those who are hospital bound.

If you experience severe depression and think about hurting yourself, please call your local hospital/Doctor/counselor/preacher and tell them how you are feeling.  There is no shame in feeling this way and there is no shame in getting help for it.

The month of Thanks

This is the month to give thanks, though we should give thanks every day...this month is when the world comes together to do so.  Families will get together around a dinner table stuffed to the max with delicious food and enjoy what they have and who they have it with.  Thanksgiving is a good excuse to spend time with the whole family and eat more than you should.  I cannot wait for future thanksgiving dinners when my children are older...with their spouses and children.  My house will be filled with laughter and many decendents and lots of yummy food.  This thanksgiving be sure to spend the day with those who love you best, or spend it by giving back to the people.  There will be more to come on this subject...enjoy this month of thanksgiving.
