"Hi. I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to add some festive decorations to your Thanksgiving day. Another sort of decoration which is often overlooked are plates and napkins. You're like "What do you mean decorations? That's just a plate, that's what it does - it's a plate.". Maybe you have really nice plates that you want to use for your Thanksgiving dinner or like just eating in the month of November activities. Maybe you don't. Maybe you actually wouldn't mind having something out there with some more like autumn leaves, pumpkins, cornucopias, and other Thanksgiving themes on it. For example here, we have several options you can basically have. You can also see there are just so many options at the stores now a days. You have these wonderful larger big brown plates with lots of maple leaves on them. You also have smaller light brown plates for cornucopia on there right in the center. You have a bunch of napkins here and of course you even have a little turkey plate. Now, I personally don't recommend using any type of paper or fall themed dishes unless you have nice China with maple leaves all over them. I don't recommend those main Thanksgiving dinner, but I think they are perfect for snack plates. These napkins and these plates are great. You don't have to an army of dishes before Thanksgiving dinners' even started yet. So consider these for additional decorations if you're having Thanksgiving gather and you're going to have a snack session around one with dinner five. Definitely consider these guys. They kind of heighten the mood and it's something a little bit more interesting than this normal plate."
