How to Decorate for Thanksgiving with Pumpkins

Video Transcript

"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. We also have the great ball fun of pumpkins. It's important that whenever you're having your pumpkins around your house for Thanksgiving, that they not be Halloween pumpkins. What do I mean by Halloween pumpkins? What I mean by Halloween pumpkins is something like this with a skull drawn on it or carved. First off, it's November - probably mid-November even. If you've carved that pumpkin for Halloween, it's gotten nasty. Throw that guy out. We do not want Halloween pumpkins. Halloween pumpkins are this. Thanksgiving pumpkins are this. There much easier to put together. You can always get a couple of pumpkins and put them around your house. You can have one like in the center of your table. It's not a problem, or near your front door. Just make sure there's no other Halloween paraphernalia, which should be shoved back into your closet till next October, hanging around. These are basic, bare - you can certainly make sure they're clean. You can wash off your pumpkin if you got it at the store. Pumpkins usually get even cheaper after Halloween. So if you want pumpkins for your Thanksgiving decorations, they work very, very well. Just remember, no carving and nothing that smacks of Halloween."
