PLANO, Texas, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Football, Black Friday, and an increasingly connected world have caused Thanksgiving gatherings to evolve over the years, and oftentimes these distractions keep families away from the dinner table. At Home® bucks the current retail trend of opening earlier and earlier on Thanksgiving Day for shoppers. Instead, the home decor superstore, encourages team members to spend the day with friends and family.

"Asking our teams to work on this family-centric holiday fell outside our company's core cultural beliefs, so the decision to close on Thanksgiving was an easy one for our leadership team to make," said Lee Bird, Chief Executive Officer of At Home.

With At Home hoping more families gather around a feast this holiday, the brand offers an array of bountiful harvest items that will keep your guests at the Thanksgiving table long after dessert is served. Whether consumers' tastes lean toward classic luxurious, whimsical, or vintage, At Home offers Thanksgiving decor for every personality at everyday low prices. The brand offers these five tips for a regal Thanksgiving table:

Forgo the plastic drinking cups in favor of chalkboard mason jar mugs - an easy way to reduce waste and add a fresh personalization for your guests.
Bring a touch of whimsy to your table by serving mulled cider from a honeycomb beverage dispenser, and your guests will get a hoot from using cute owl mugs!
Engage all the senses with an autumn scented candle placed in a leafy candle holder.
Give your feast a timeless touch using matching gold rim glass trays, goblets and plate sets.
Play with mixed elements like a glass pumpkin or a metal turkey.

At Home's newly launched website and blog include images and descriptions of more than 20,000 products available for purchase at more than 90 stores across 26 states. The thousands of products include a broad range of categories including holiday decor, patio furniture, garden, home furnishings, wall decor and decorative accents, rugs and housewares.
