I have a small decorative suggestion for you Jen... Have you thought about intermixing the two different types of chairs at your long tables? I think it would add a sense of cohesiveness to the long table, plus it would look quite interesting if the two different chair heights/types were alternated.
I thought it would make it look more balance!
What a fun video Jen! I loved seeing all of your preparations. Your table is so beautiful and you have the perfect set-up. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Huge Hugs. Nikki
Because of you, this thanksgiving dinner was very pleasant and relaxing!!! I wrote a schedule down for each item I was making and when it was going in the oven and so on. I can't believe that I have never had a plan. My dinners have always been frustrating for me. Thank you so much Jen for all your wonderful and inspiring videos.
This is the mindful attention that shows a respect for cultural traditions and creates a space for family to relax and enjoy each other.
I love watching your holiday prep videos so much. You are a true inspiration. Move over Martha Stewart... Jen is here! :)
except that she gets all of her ideas/recipes/décor rom Martha Stewart....

I disagree. She is a very creative person.
beccaboo2503 And Martha gets all her ideas from her creative team.
Wow, your family is so.....formal. Everyone in my family works a lot so we try not to stress about the Holiday's since it's our day off. Usually just relax and watch some football and drink beer. Everyone pitches in and enjoys the day together. You guys take things really seriously! I loved the table set up though!
Jen, you have a great system! I so enjoy watching how you plan and prep and put it all into motion! I marvel at it each year. You definitely have a home for hosting and you do a fantastic job. Your guests will feel welcomed and will no doubt enjoy themselves.
Thank you for taking the time adding those extra videos into your video. We appreciate the effort you make into your filming and editing :)
It's my first ever Thanksgiving hosting and 30 people are coming! Thanks for the video, love watching all of them but this was great to watch right now!
A very nice setup, well thought out. Love your table decor and colors, especially the runner down the middle, so pretty. I'm sure your family is thankful for all you do, A very blessed and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours =)
Your family is blessed to have you do all of this! Amazing job!!! It's beautiful !!!
I just wanted to say how thankfull I am for coming across you UTUBE videos on organization ... They are so helpful ... Thank you again
I'm rewatching this video 4 years later! Miss your holiday prep videos.
I'm watching it in 2017 as well. We are hosting Christmas and this is definitely making me think about what we are doing!
Your new editing is amazing! Love the added touches, it makes it so much easier to find old related videos and new ones from your other channels! Thank you for all the effort you put into You Tube, keep it up!!
Everything is beautiful. Thank you for all of the amazing tips - you take all the fear out of entertaining a crowd!
This is not an easy job. Thanks for these videos. You make me love and respect my role even more.
I love your holiday prep vids! Such great advice for time management! Thank you for sharing your process! Happy Thanksgiving!
You're so considerate of everyone's needs :) thank you for your great videos x
Thanks for keeping this video up, I find myself referring to it every year! :)
You have such a great space for entertaining. I love the contrast of the napkins and napkin rings, so seasonal. You've given me so much inspiration!
Keeping a binder is such a great idea. Thanks for the great tips!
I love your organizing tips. Thank you so much for sharing. You could definitely write a book on organizing and I would be the first one to buy it. You are very talented. Have you changed or updated anything since your last holiday prep. Maybe you could do a (mini video) on changes/updates/experiences. Even little changes in the process helps bring new ideas. Once again Gracias!
I watch you do this every year. And your tips have been very helpful for me to get my Thanksgiving ready. I hope you and your family have a great time!!
Love this video...very inspiring! I know everyone's OCD works differently, but I would alternate the chairs -- tall-short-tall, etc. it would be a nice flow.
Just noticed - clicking on last year's binder, takes you to pinterest takes you to the to-do lists - thanks Jen!
Beautiful table!! I love all of your ideas. You put such thought into helping your guests have a lovely holiday! You should be very proud of your effort, and Happy almost Thanksgiving 2014! I am hoping to make my holiday as beautiful and calm as yours! Thank you for the inspiration!
I love the turkey baskets you have for snacks. I hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving!
You are amazing kiddo!! Oh how I wish I was young again and had some of your energy.....but...it is what it is....and I will do the best I can to get my Thanksgiving feast organized and feed my family!!! I love the holidays and I am so happy that you share a little of your life with me!
I started a thanksgiving/christmas planner this year after viewing your 2012 planner vlogs. My planners aren't as organized or complete as yours are but I am hoping that they will become better with each year. Thanks for the tips for planning ahead. I work out of the house, sometimes 60 to 72 hours a week, especially duing the holidays. The planner has really helped me to remember little things that fall though the cracks if I'm not as focused as I should be. Thanks for the vlog, I really enjoy each and every one of them.
To be so young you have learned so much already. I wish someone like you had been available when I was much younger because I always loved entertaining the family but I was always so stressed I don't think my husband or children have great memories of this. Your home is always beautiful and such a joy to see you share it with family. I am much older now and we go to my daughter's house where her husband and grown children all pitch in and help and it is wonderful to see. If only I had done that. Christmas will be at our house this year with family coming from Colorado so all children will be here. Waiting for your suggestions anxiously. Thank you so much for all you do for us.
Love it Jen! Your table looks beautiful! Thanks for taking the time to share your prep process!!
Wow just beautiful Happy ThanksGiving to all
Everything is so lovely
You should put copies of your lists from your thanks giving binder so that people could download it or take a look at it.
great job. . excited to see the actual video of thanksgiving day.
Oh my gosh I just LOVE this video! Soooo helpful. Just simple things htat make you think 'of course why didn't I think of that!' Thank you so much for sharing, great to watch xXx
1. You are simply amazing! So organized! 2. It looks beautiful! 3. Your house is gorgeous!
Hi Jen and thanks for sharing
I am not doing anything like this since we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Norway, but its so interesting to see :) You are so organized! Makes me want to go around my apartment and tidy up draws and stuff! :D
Good morning Jen! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!! Thanks for the video series!!!
I love watching these videos. They make me so excited for the upcoming Holidays ! Could you please do more videos like these during the Holidays ? It's really inspiring ! I can't wait for the Holidays to come ! :D
I love your Holiday prep series. Great job as usual. I don't have to host any of the holiday dinners this year so as the family event planner I'm going to sit back and just enjoy the days!
Very informative video Jen. Thank you for filming this. It takes a great deal of time and planning and very appreciated. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Jennifer, you are a treasure! Thank you so much for all the tips and advises!
Dear Jennifer,
What a wonderful and helpful video with a surprise vlog!!! :)
Stunning arrangement. I adore your house.
Great Job Jen! I'm going to try to use some of your early prep tips for this Christmas! Happy Thanksgiving!
Another great prep video! I've been hosting Thanksgiving at my home for many years and l always pick up tips from you each year. Thanks Jen for all your hard work in putting these videos together. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Don!!
Interesting prep! I really like your table set up! One thing I need to do is add post it notes to some of the items in my tote boxes...I do tend to forget sometimes where I had something the year before! Thanks so much for sharing your tips and your home! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Jen! xo Jules:)
I do all my major prep ahead of time, too. It makes life easier. I love your acorn plates.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving! I'm alittle late with setting up but I can definitely catch up with your helpful video.
I aspire to do thanksgiving like you! wonderful stuff here
It all looks beautiful. Have a wonderful day. xx
I'm not sure if you've ever done a video like this, but in addition to your holiday prep videos could you do holiday clean up videos? Generally after guests leave there's lots of cleaning to do and lots to put away in storage and I'd love to see your ideas on that!
Wow..very thorough..you'd make a great project manager...I wished I had this kind of time...we're hosting 17 people and the only list we made is the grocery list...lol.
Omg! You are fabulous. Your ideas are wonderful. Thanks
This was so helpful you goddess!
I love the idea of your Thanksgiving Prep binder!
We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in my country but I love your party prep videos:) yay!! And your home is sooo lovely:) xoxo and happy Thanksgiving to you and your wonderful family:)
Great video Jen!!!Have a wonderful Thanksgiving !!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Thanks for sharing! I am doing a different set up for my meal this year and was wondering just what to do with my coffee table!
I used Tiny Prints for my Christmas cards this year. I love them! They always have good discount codes too!
Jen you are such an inspiration to me and my oh-so-cluttered life. The table looks beautiful. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family :)
Very nicely done. Hope y'all have a fabulous Thanksgiving. :)
You did it again! Love, Love, Love your preparation videos! So many fantastic tips! Thank you very much Jen, please keep them coming :-D
Rewatching
in 2020!
Thank you for your video it was very helpful to me and others
who watch your channel! You and your Family have a great Holiday!
Will you be putting lists/sched!ules/notebook details/printables up on your blog? That would be helpful!
I was just wondering if there is a link to print out your check list on your blog? Id love to use one like that but customize it for Christmas!
Random question but where did you get that cute sugar holder that you have on coffee set up table?
This video warms my heart!
What a great video!! Thanks Jen
Amazing! What great inspiration! You've thought of everything. So impressed!
Using my Thanksgiving Prep Binder for the first time this year. I'll let you know how it goes. Also saw your video for the Holiday Planners and will get on board with those for next year. This is a beautiful table, I prefer it over the round tables (family is closer and no one is split up to other tables). Happy Thanksgiving!
Great ideas! Thanks for posting!
Cool)))))) So many energy and so cute results ;)
Happy thanksgiving jen Thanks for sharing.
Great video !! Thanks for sharing and Happy Thanksgiving :)
Now I want it to be Thanksgiving already - I'm hungry! I hope you do your stocking stuffer videos again this year!!
This was so interesting, we in the UK dont have Thanksgiving but I wish we did ;-) Have a very Happy Thanksgiving xx
Your best video yet!
Very organized. Great video.
Impressive. Thanks for sharing.
YOU'RE GOOD!
Hi Jen me again.helpful.Can you do buffet server tour that is in your living room/dining room?
You are an organizing goddess! Very inspirational!!!
Hi Jen! Iyou just turned 20 so I'm really starting to handle my own money. you should show us how you organize your home finances/home office. :D
Jenn where is your dining room table from...just love it! Great video thanks!
Thanks, Jen, for putting so much work into filming and editing! Truly enjoyed this one :-)
It would be awesome if there were snow on the ground and the fireplace going. Its looks great.
So inspiring!
jen, you are seriously superwoman.
Love your videos!
Way to go Jen!!! Everything's so lovely :-)
Your Thanksgiving table looks nice. But you should alternate the chairs so the backs are high, low, high, low - because right now it looks like there is an "adults" table and a "kids" table.
Appreciate everything Jen, thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving :)
Your a great hostess!
Where did you get those luvly chargers from?!
hi jen , just started watching your channel. I was wondering where you got the glass side tables and the one you put coffee service on? thanks-
Hi Drita.. I believe Jen got them from Pottery Barn. They are still available in on their website. :)
