Thanksgiving is a quintessential holiday. Out of all the holidays, this one still retains a bit of holiday innocence and tranquility. It’s a family day. A day set aside for something simple and productive. To be grateful.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Granted, with the push for Black Friday specials and the greedy Christmas season on the backdoor, it still seems a bit tainted in many regards, but Thanksgiving still holds a bit of cherished innocence.
That does not mean it is not stressful to get a home ready for a large meal and guests! Quite the contrary! It can be a hassle beyond many mommas’ or homemakers’ mental capacity.
How soon can you Start Preparing for Thanksgiving?
Contemplate all the things you must get ready for that large Thanksgiving meal to take place! The guest invited, delegating, table arrangement, table place cards, decorations (if desired), food placement, food clean up, adequate utensils, turkey cooking, dessert cooking, house cleaning, not to mention entertaining those kiddos during this whole process!
Is your head spinning at the thought of putting together another Thanksgiving Holiday?
The Thanksgiving Planner will walk you through what you need to do 3 weeks before Thanksgiving, 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, and 1 week before Thanksgiving. In addition, it lists out daily checklists for the week of Thanksgiving.
Simple items can be planned at least 3 weeks in advance. You will find checklists with items like:
- Plan Guest List
- Compiling RSVPs
- Order Turkey
- Plan Table Decor
- Plan Menu
What should I do 2 Days Before Thanksgiving?
At the 2-day mark, things are getting a bit more pressed! Depending on your Turkey size, the Sunday before you will need to take out your Turkey to defrost. Any baked or cook-ahead items that you have frozen can be removed from the freezer the Wednesday before, and often you can set your table if you have decorations or specific place settings.
