Thanksgiving is one of the most inviting holidays of the year. Even though we may not have a chill in the air, the ambiance created simply by the presence of our family and friends is as warm as a fire in the fireplace. All across the Los Angeles area, people are preparing for the Thanksgiving gathering by decorating their homes with seasonal fall arrangements and bouquets. The designers at French Florist have been hard at work creating gorgeous centerpieces and florals that will make celebrating Thanksgiving a beautiful event.

Gathering around the table for the purposes of giving thanks has been a tradition for centuries. Of course, many acknowledge the 1621 meal between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians as the first official Thanksgiving, although that theory has its naysayers. We do know that Thanksgiving was established as a national holiday in 1863 when Abraham Lincoln signed it into existence.

Turkey was not listed as one of the main entrees of the settler's feast ' venison. duck and seafood such as lobster and clams were recorded ' but by the late 1700's, a holiday turkey was quite common. Some credit the popular Dicken's novel 'A Christmas Carol', in which a turkey was given as a luxurious gift to the Cratchitt family. More than likely, turkey gained popularity because of its large size (hence being able to feed extended family) and the fact that, unfortunately for the bird, is quite expendable. While a chicken laid eggs and a cow gave milk, the turkey had no such redeeming qualities. celebrating thanksgiving

Celebrating Thanksgiving is eagerly anticipated all year long. Traditions include food, family, football and flowers! Roses, lilies, sunflowers, protea, and mums are all customary blooms for Thanksgiving, often garnished with hypericum berries, foliage and even gourds and fruits. Whether you need a beautiful centerpiece or are simply looking to add color and drama to your home decor, French Florist is the premier source for all Thanksgiving holiday florals.
