To invite the spirit of Thanksgiving, we have been keeping a Gratitude Tree. Each day we would all write something we were grateful for and attach it to the tree. The kids loved doing it and never missed a day, usually writing several things each day. This is definitely a tradition we will keep going.
On Thanksgiving Day we asked all of our guests to write a few things to add to ours, and before dinner we read all the blessings that had been written down. It was a wonderful reminder of the purpose of Thanksgiving, and an easy way to share some thoughts before dinner.
This year the tags said (some had many repeats): and I don't know why this will not stay in the columns I put them in.
