New Thanksgiving Family Traditions
Thanksgiving is always a fun time of
celebration and eating with your family. Here are some ways to make
Thanksgiving even more fun for your family this year.
Thankful cards – Make a card for each family member that will
be your guest for Thanksgiving this year. On each card, tell that
person what you love most about them, and why you are thankful for
them.
Recipe books – A few months before Thanksgiving, write a list
of each family member. Beside their name, make a note of their best
dish. Call each member and ask for a copy of that recipe, plus one or
two of their own favorites that they’d like to share. When you have
all the recipes ready, compile them into a booklet and print them,
using your computer and printer. (You can also use professional
services, if you wish, to make a longer-lasting recipe book.) After
your guests all arrive for your Thanksgiving dinner, give them each a
copy of your special recipe book.
Mini family scrapbooks – Gather family pictures, if you don’t
have many pictures, take them to a local copier and have extra prints
made. Purchase mini scrapbooks at a scrapbook supply store, along with
stickers, markers and various scrapbook supplies. Create miniature
family scrapbooks, using one picture per page. Write what you are
thankful for, in relation to each family member, on their designated
pages. On Thanksgiving Day, give a copy of your mini family scrapbooks
to each family member as a memento.
