Thanksgiving is such a lovely time of celebration. It kicks off the holiday season with a focus on togetherness, hospitality, and, of course, gratitude. The weeks leading up to Thanksgiving mark the perfect time to shift the focus in your home to an appreciation for the great abundance that you and your family enjoy and the many blessings in your life.
Here are some ways to do just that:
Thanksgiving Tree
Head outside for a nature walk with the kids and instruct everyone to keep their eyes peeled for the perfect branch for your Thanksgiving tree. A small branch that can fit in a vase, with numerous arms would be great. Display your branch in the vessel of your choice in a prominent place. Each day, hang leaves cut out of card stock with something each family member is thankful for written on them. As Thanksgiving approaches, encourage your family to keep adding leaves to your “tree” and watch it grow as your appreciation for your many blessings grows along with it….
