Thanksgiving is the kick-off to the holiday season and it can be stressful so here are some harmonious tips to help make your Thanksgiving warm and peaceful:
- Harmonious seating
The dining room is considered to be the place of wealth in your home, so use it, and bring out your good stuff, your china, crystal, and silver. - Harmonious décor
If you think your guests might argue, and mine seem to, then invite an even number of people for that balance.
In Feng Shui, we divide everything in order to balance the yin (dark) and the yang (light). So decorate with soothing earth colors like pumpkin, evergreen, and chocolate. Orange is the element of fire, which encourages conversation. Yellow wakes up the room just like the sun. - Harmonious Food
Have plenty of food and all of your family’s favorites. In Texas, we have cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole, broccoli cheese casserole and yes that is made with Velveeta cheese, tamales, and of course lemon Jell-O. I love pie so I have half of a pie per person and I normally have around 26 people. Pumpkin, pecan, apple, cherry, sweet potato, buttermilk, coconut cream pie, and chocolate – we have it all. As we are eating, my family and friends take turns and tell everyone the main thing that they are grateful for. After you eat move your chi and take a walk or play football.
I hope all of y’all have a healthy, happy, and prosperous holiday filled with good food, great family, and friends who surround you with love, harmony, joy, and of course tons of gratitude.
