It is a great way to encourage family members and even guests to think about what makes them thankful.

Gather the materials and then sit down with your family to discuss what makes each member thankful. It makes a lovely decoration for your Thanksgiving celebration.

Do you know why you are thankful? For what will you give thanks this holiday season? Thanksgiving is more than a chance to commemorate a period of history; it is an opportunity to take stock of our lives and be grateful!

Countdown to ChristmasToday’s Countdown to Christmas Challenge is to take a moment of gratitude. Don’t wait until Thanksgiving is upon you. The meaning of the holiday will be completely lost in dinner preparations and houseguests. Tonight at dinner, go around the table with your immediate family and ask them what they are thankful for in their lives. Use their answers as a way of building upon the holiday. Put it in your Christmas cards. Do whatever it takes to recognize all of the blessings and good fortune you truly have!
