Giving Thanks in Your New Home

Giving thanks in your new home the first year of ownership is a big deal. Your first Thanksgiving can be heartfelt and memorable while commemorating the milestone you’ve reached owning your new home. Gather your friends and family for a thankful, reflective meal and toast the beginning of all the Thanksgivings to come.

Making everyone part of the day will make this Thanksgiving special.

So instead of doing everything yourself, ask everyone to bring their signature dish. A potluck meal brings everyone together because each person prepares a dish with care. You can ask them to bring a recipe card or a printed copy of their recipe, and you can collect these and share them with the group later.

Another way to include everyone and make this first Thanksgiving memorable is to create a thankfulness album, table decoration, or jar. Guests can contribute something they are thankful for into this item, and it can be brought back out year after year to reflect upon and add to.

Make your centerpiece unique by asking everyone to bring an item from nature from their own homes to contribute to a centerpiece collection. This way everyone is bringing a little bit of their home to yours.

After dinner, take the group on a walk around your new neighborhood. Show off the park, the gardens, or any small feature that makes it feel special to you. Share the reasons why this area was the perfect match for you and your family.
