Thanksgiving is a tapestry woven with history and heartfelt appreciation. Back in 1620, the Pilgrims forged a connection with the Wampanoag tribe, sharing farming and trade wisdom, and emphasizing the reciprocal relationship with nature and gratitude.
It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November. In 2023, a traditional part of the holiday is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. A visual spectacle of balloons, floats, performances, and more. Whether you watch on NBC or stake out a spot along the 2.5-mile route, you’re in for a treat.
And as winter settles in, we invite you to transform your living space into a snug retreat. Begin with warm throws, draping sofas and beds for inviting nooks on chilly nights. Illuminate with soft, ambient lighting.
Indulge in comforting winter drinks. Stock up on hot cocoa, herbal teas, or spiced cider. Keep mugs and cozy blankets handy, inviting you to snuggle up with a warm beverage.
Lastly, infuse your space with seasonal decor. Adorn with festive wreaths, plush cushions, and wintery accents. Add deep, rich colors for a warm, inviting atmosphere – ideal for curling up with a good book, watching a marvelous movie, or welcoming in guests.
With these touches, your space will transform into a winter wonderland. Get ready to embrace the cozy, inviting atmosphere at Lakeside in Centreville, VA.
