I don't think I've ever put together a Thanksgiving table in October -- at least, not in recent years. I'm always too far behind schedule to do that. This year, things are a little different. I've offered committed to having my family's Christmas Day gathering at our house, so I'm going to start decorating for Christmas earlier than ever before. It will feel strange, but I need to get as much of a head start on things as possible.
Our Thanksgiving tables in previous years have always featured my Johnson Brothers "His Majesty" dishes, and my centerpiece was always a cornucopia overflowing with the bounty of a harvest season. I enjoyed using these pieces, because the "horn of plenty" has always been a big symbol of Thanksgiving to me. This year, I was in the mood to do something different.
