Host Your First Thanksgiving

Here’s a scenario that might be harrowing: you’ve finally settled in at some cozy apartments for rent near Sacramento, you’ve eased into the “flow” of your new life outside of California’s capital, and now, someone has asked you to host the family’s Thanksgiving feast for this year. You graciously accept, of course, but there’s just one issue — you’ve never hosted Thanksgiving before and you’ve no earthly idea how to start. Before you let your anxiety get the better of you, though, why not arm yourself with the knowledge you’ll need to pull off a Thanksgiving dinner the right way? Read on, and we’ll give you the tips you need to host that upcoming feast like you’ve already been doing it for years.

Essential Steps To Thanksgiving Greatness

As with just about any large endeavor you’ll undertake in your life, pulling off a great Thanksgiving starts with having a solid plan. Calm your nerves, break out that notepad, and start jotting down all the information you’ll need. How many people are coming over? Where will you serve the meal? What recipes will you prepare? Any dietary restrictions you’ll need to take into account? Once you have this information, you’ll be able to get to work moving all the right pieces into place for Thanksgiving dinner.

Part of the stress that people feel from Thanksgiving is due to all the cooking they have to do the day of, so to take some weight off of your shoulders, do as much cooking as you can beforehand. You might not be able to cook every meal before Thanksgiving arrives, but if you look at the menu you compose carefully, you’ll notice there are at least some pre-preparation steps that you can take care of well in advance. Do as much as you can, and you’ll find your cooking chores much more manageable once Thanksgiving day has come.

Remember that it’s not just the cooking you’ll have to account for. There’s decorating and setting the table as well. Take care of this a few days ahead of time, and you won’t have to worry about it on Thanksgiving day. Finally, you’ll want to remember to accept (or enlist) help wherever you can find it. Tackling Thanksgiving solo will drive you up the wall, but with a few helping hands, that work will flow much easier. Get some assistance from friends and family, and you can all work toward that common goal of making Thanksgiving one to remember.
