Our favorite holiday of the year is here – Thanksgiving! We love the cozy and relaxing atmosphere of this holiday where you get to spend the day hanging out with loved ones, eating large quantities of sumptuous foods, and watching football or dog shows (or both!). There’s no expectation of gifts so no stress about whether you found the perfect thing or not, and there’s no religious affiliation with this holiday so it can be shared with everyone. Plus, the best thing about Thanksgiving is that we’re supposed to take a moment and give thanks for all the positives in our life. It may not also be easy when a year has been particularly tough, but a day set aside to appreciate what is good in your life is well worth celebrating. So, in the spirit of sharing, here at Mission Viejo, we are sharing with you all of our best Thanksgiving-themed blogs below. Discover harvest decorating tips, dazzling centerpieces for your holiday table, fabulous fall flowers, and more!

In 2015, we will celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November, just as it has been celebrated since 1939. If that date is a bit more recent than you expected, it is due to the fact that Thanksgiving didn’t even become a holiday until 1863, when Abraham Lincoln created it.
