New Traditions

 Looking for some new ideas for Thanksgiving traditions? Try out one of these this year!

1. Have each family member choose one person they are thankful for that year. Take or send a treat or card to them to let them know why you are grateful for them.
2. Share a Story. After dinner and at dessert have everyone share a story. Possible themes:

• The greatest day of my life.
• The best thing that happened in my life this year.
• My favorite memory from childhood.
• The funniest thing that ever happened to me.

     3. In the spirit of the original Thanksgiving, go local! Try adding venison, fresh-caught fish, and locally grown veggies to your menu.

     4. Have each person write on a slip of paper something they are grateful for and put them all in a hat. Let everyone draw a slip, read aloud, and guess who's slip they have.
