It's tough not to jump right from Halloween to Christmas
but we MUST pause and take time for Thanksgiving! The first Thanksgiving feast was thought to
be in 1621. The guests were the Plymouth
colonists and the Wampanoag Indians. It
wasn’t until 1863 that President Lincoln declared a national day of
Thanksgiving to be celebrated each November.
I am blessed to have wonderful memories of Thanksgiving dinners as a
child and it is still important to me to make sure this holiday does not get
left in the dust! This is just as
special as Christmas and needs thought and preparation for not only the food,
but the table service and décor. Let us
give you a hand! Soup to nuts (at least
the containers for such things) can be found here at South End Antique
Mall. It doesn't matter whether you
want a formal table or a more casual one, you can find so much to choose
from! Having said that, I do need to
remind you all that the last sale of the year takes place the weekend after
Thanksgiving. Put the dinner fixings to
rest and come out to Aurora for a city wide celebration of the Holiday
season. We will be having our sale

More on that later! And now for a
correction from last week’s article. I
identified the new “visitor” in our entryway as a “Percheron” when it is
actually a “Friesian”. You must stop by
and get a look at this huge addition to our seasonal décor!
