    When my husband and I got married and moved closer to his family, he politely let me know that he would never be around for Thanksgiving.

    Never-ever.

    There’s a tradition in his family where all the guys take off for the mountains with a big group and do whatever men do in the mountains -mostly play quarter poker and tell the same stories year after year.

    When he told me that, I just smiled. Nobody was getting between this lady and her turkey holiday!

    So we celebrate Thanksgiving a week or two early so I get my fill of Thanksgiving and he gets his tradition. It’s a win-win. We invite friends over and make it a potluck – although the Turkey and table are mine alone to make.

    Free Printable Thanksgiving Place cards or tags. Great to use for gifts, favors, or anyone you are thankful for!

    I feel like this year’s theme for the holidays is returning to simplicity. I pulled out my usual table decorations – the plates that I hide away so we have at least one set that isn’t chipped or missing pieces, my ikea placemats, dollar store pumpkins, and candles (lots of candles). Add a few budget bouquets from the grocery store, and the table was looking pretty good.

    With eight  people around the table, the passing of food would never end so we are a buffet style crew – the plates fill up in the kitchen and seconds are easier to manage.

    For fun, I made these little tags that say “Very Thankful for You”. They are great to use as place-cards, tags, or even decorating a take home bag of leftovers. It makes it harder to refuse leftovers when they are cutely packaged, right?

    You can download the printable tags in 2 sizes here.

    Brown paper bags with white tags and red ribbon for packing leftovers for guests.

    Tip: Don’t package up leftovers in containers you need to be returned. I buy a package of microwave safe lunch containers and use them to hand out.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
