What are the most popular Thanksgiving decorations?

Thanksgiving is a day, celebrating the blessings of the harvest. Naturally, it involves lots of pumpkins, pears and apples. Autumn flowers and fall leaves are another holiday must-have when it comes to decor. Needless to say, orange, yellow, brown, red and gold are the most popular colors.
