Ditch the Drive-thru and Decorate Your Table
Auntie Geneva is hosting a holiday feast and you’re invited to learn all about how I do it…and why. Grab a seat as I show-n-tell you all about the making of a holiday table…and just in time for this season of Thanksgiving. Thank God my mama taught me how to cook. See, I rarely do things fast and you won’t see me in a drive-thru anytime soon for a hot meal. No, ma’am. There is joy in leisure and taking a sweet stretch of time to create a feast fit for kings and queens at my dining room table.
As I sit around my table, I am grateful for who is there and not worried by who is not. I am happy to swap stories of days gone by with family and friends by phone, video call, and those invited into my home. As I set the table, I count my blessings… good health, healthy children, a quiver full of grandchildren, and let’s not forget my BFF, Sandy.
Pumpkin-spice-themed colors dance across the table. Hey, Pinterest could take a page out of my book for this year’s handmade, heartfelt gathering table. Consider the power of gathering together. You see, I think of autumn as a time to gather up scattered dreams, and ideas once tossed to the side, and as a season to reboot my confidence. As I whip up my famous sweet potato pie filling, I imagine how life can be when I stir all of my hopes, dreams, and goals for the remainder of the year together. All the pent-up creativity from my heart and soul floods into my hands and like clockwork, the place settings come alive. I cannot keep a secret from you, so here’s a quick glimpse of the must-have items and Thanksgiving decor that bring the season alive in my home.
