Thanksgiving. Just the very word brings thoughts of family, friends, dinner and turkey into one’s mind. It’s a time where we catch up with our family and watch football with people you love. However, it can feel a bit repetitive doing the same thing every year. With the holiday coming up on Thursday, Nov. 24, here are five things you can do to make your Thanksgiving different.
Go on Vacation
Now, this isn’t just a vacation to your relative’s house. Take an actual vacation. Visit a place you’ve never been to like Padre Island or stay in a cabin with your family. Branching out gives a different feel to Thanksgiving while still keeping the family atmosphere.
Have a family Picnic
Instead of staying home, go to the park with your family. This time of year usually features pretty nice weather, so why not have a picnic? Enjoy the warm temperatures, the nice environment for kids to play and the ability to be with your family outside of the home.
Relax
This time of year might be the busiest time for almost everyone. Whether you need to balance your focus on grades, spending time with your friends or balancing work, the season brings busy schedules. Just stay home and relax. Invite the whole family over to eat pizza, watch movies and be stress-free.
Have a Creative Feast
Thanksgiving traditionally involves having turkey for dinner, but you don’t have to gorge on it every year. Get creative. Have a barbecue with your family and others around the neighborhood.
Get ready for the holidays
Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday season, so you can get a head start on gifting getting, decorating and planning. With Christmas about a month away from Thanksgiving, it may be better to start the early shopping.
