A garage can be a great place to host Thanksgiving because there's enough room for everyone once you remove the cars. Since your garage isn't exactly a festive space, we recommend decorating for the season. Remove everything large from the garage at least a week in advance so you have time to clean and decorate, both inside and out. 

Do yourself a favor this fall and schedule a day to work on your garage. Seriously, a bit of effort now will make winter easier to endure, and will also assure that you'll be able to enjoy the first warm days of spring when it finally rolls around. 

This is the time to perform a bit of "spring cleaning" in reverse. If your garage has become a catchall for unused, outgrown and no-longer-wanted items over the summer, now is the perfect time to either donate them or give them to a resale store.
