Romantic Things to Do for Thanksgiving

Are you wondering how to turn your Thanksgiving into a romantic event? Then, stop guessing. Use the following ideas to turn this Thanksgiving into a day for two.

Love leaf

What is a “love leaf”? It is the same as love letter. The only difference is that the love letter is composed using a large, fall leaf to form the background. Search through those beautiful leaves that are falling all around you. Find a large one. Write or type your love note in small letters. Cut it out. Place it on top of your leaf. Press your love note and your leaf together between contact paper. Then, place the leaves between the pages in a large book to flatten them. Once the leaf is flattened, cut it away from the contact paper and deliver your “love leaf”.

Pumpkin patch

Those big, round pumpkins are synonymous with fall. As the cool weather sets in, turn pumpkin carving into a romantic affair. Plan a romantic trip to your local pumpkin patch.  The two of you can pick out pumpkins together for the holiday. Once you have chosen your pumpkin, head back home, and get started carving them together.

Hayride

A hayride is a great way to spend a romantic Thanksgiving together. You can schedule a hayride or you can opt to decorate your own wagon and have a friend chauffeur the two of you around. So, grab a blanket and head out for a special evening of fun.

Bonfire on the beach

Sitting around a large bonfire on the beach at night can be romantic. Gather some kindling, long logs, and a pack of matches. And, don’t forget the blankets and hot cocoa.

Go for a walks

Walking is good for your health and your romance life. Nature is alive with fall colors and scenes. Take your loved one on a walk this Thanksgiving. You can go for a nature walk in the park or at one of the national parks in your area.

Football games

Football season is in full swing, and more than most likely there is a game schedule for Thanksgiving Day.  If your date loves sports, then a football game is just the thing. Pack a blanket and snuggly up while cheering your favorite team.

Dinner by the fire

Instead of the usual full course meal, have a small romantic dinner by the fire. Have some of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes, but only in a scaled down version. Light the fire and snuggle. If you don’t have a traditional fireplace, don’t worry. Just pick a cozy room in your home and enjoy a simple dinner for two.

Thanksgiving is a traditional family holiday. However, you don’t have to spend it with tons of family members. You can make this holiday just as romantic as Valentine’s Day.
