Thanksgiving Tree 2022

The Scoop

Most years I put my Christmas tree up very early. Often, we would have a decorated tree at Thanksgiving dinner. Last year we had lots of our kids and grandkids coming for Thanksgiving dinner so as part of the decorating I did a Thanksgiving tree. It was so fun and pretty and everyone loved it, so now it is a new tradition for us.

How I Decorate My Tree

I use my very old Christmas tree. It is about 15 years old now. It is pre-lit so no lights to mess with. I

n the pictures below you will see things I use. All of it is stuff I already had around the house for fall decorating. I use lots of signs of different sizes, picks and stems fill in bare spots and then little fabric pumpkins and ribbon finish it off. I also added some raffia this year.

1. I put the larger things on first, such as the signs.

2. Then I add the picks and stems.

3. Last, I add the pumpkins, ribbons and raffia.

4. I cut wired ribbon around 12 to 18 inches long and curl it a little before I tuck it in randomly.

5. I used a couple of stems at the very top to complete the tree.
