Autumn is officially here, and if you’re like most people, you’re pretty excited about it. Surveys say that 29 percent of Americans agree that fall is their favorite season. After the sweltering summer, it’s nice to have a time where temperatures begin to cool down.

Autumn is a beautiful season in many parts of the world. It’s hard not to love it. The trees are changing colors before our eyes. The air smells sweet and all our favorite holidays are on their way.

Seriously, all the best holidays are from October to December. While Independence Day and Valentine’s Day are important, nothing beats the fall holidays. They’re simply amazing.

The main way we celebrate quite a few of those holidays is around a table. After all, much of Thanksgiving consists of eating a huge meal with your family. It’s so big that many people start cooking weeks in advance. Everyone has a favorite part of the meal (hello, pumpkin pie).

If you’re hosting a meal for family and friends, you want your food to be delicious, of course. But you also want your table to look festive. Fortunately, there are tons of ways you can make that happen with a little creativity.
