How do you decorate a hall for a fall party?
Definitely do bold Autumn colors. Red-orange, orange, auburn, brown, colors like that. You can get leaves of these colors and attach them to your walls, or you can put pumpkins (can be fake) with some brown vines or something and arrange them on the side of the hall to make it look like an enchanted passageway. You can even put some fake hay in the hall if you want. Or the bold colored leaves. Just some suggestions. Hope I helped. :)

Why do people eat turkey on Thanksgiving?
Turkey on Thanksgiving People eat turkey on Thanksgiving because of tradition. People grow up learning that turkey is served on Thanksgiving and carry that on from generation to generation.
Other users share their ideas:
- I presume it was because the Native Americans introduced the bird to the Pilgrims (but not necessarily on Thanksgiving Day). It was a large bird that was not migratory and therefore was available throughout the year. It was large enough to feed more than one family.
- Thanksgiving became a time of gathering for families that had moved apart. Turkey is a large bird and you can feed many people from one roasted turkey, rather than roasting many smaller fowl.
(It was more likely the Pilgrims ate grouse, duck, goose and swan than turkey. Serving turkey became a matter of convenience and simplicity for the American public. Why cook 10 small chickens when you can roast one 25-lb bird?)
What is traditionally served as dessert at Thanksgiving in the US?
Traditionally, pumpkin pie is served as dessert on Thanksgiving Day.
The myth that the harvest feast celebrated by Pilgrims and Wampanoags in 1621 was the first of its kind in the Americas overlooks the fact that Indigenous peoples had been holding harvest celebrations long before European contact. Various Native American tribes, including the Wampanoags, had their own traditions and feasts to give thanks for successful harvests, often involving communal gatherings and sharing food. Additionally, European settlers had previously engaged in similar harvest festivals in their homelands, making the 1621 event more of a continuation of existing practices rather than a unique occurrence.
How many times has the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade happened?
2010 marks the 84th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade started in 1924, and was suspended for three years during World War II (1942-44).
Did the Pilgrims pray or read the Bible during the first thanksgiving?
Religion was very much a part of everyday life for the Pilgrims. They believed the Native Americans who had assisted them during their first year in Plymouth were put there due to God's providence. The Thanksgiving feast was as much about thanking God as it was about thanking the natives. Prayer would have been a big part of the feast.
