Thanksgiving Traditions and Rituals
By Polly | November 11, 2007
Add some spice to your family Thanksgiving this year with these fun family ideas.
Create a family tradition by having everyone sign the dinner table cloth with their name and something for which they are thankful. Use the same table cloth every year and have family members add something new every year.
Teach your kids to give back to their community by letting them organize a mini toy or food drive. Ask family members to bring either a toy or food donation to the family dinner and once the day is over drive the kids to your local charity to drop off the collected items.
Take a family photo and have it made into a jigsaw puzzle. Mail the puzzle to family members who couldn’t attend, elderly family members confined to a nursing home, or to family members overseas. You can have puzzles made from your digital photo’s at places like Snapfish.com, Shutterfly.com or Upinpieces.com.
