Even though my family’s dining room table is usually too full of food for any sort of decoration, there’s one particular centerpiece associated with Thanksgiving. Whether you paid an exorbitant amount of money for one at Williams-Sonoma, or found one at a consignment shop, this symbol of abundance has been seen In this episode, we’ll be talking about Greek mythology involving the horn of plenty, how it came to grace Thanksgiving tables and still-life paintings, and even its appearance in The Hunger Games.
