Happy Thanksgiving! (2017 edition)
Posted: Nov 17, 2017 1:23 pm
Late again, I thought about this thread two weeks ago, but didn't put it on my to-do list.
I love this time of year. The air is cool and crisp, there's apple cider and pumpkin desserts, Christmas music (if you start listening to it this early), and so many other wonderful things happening.
Have any favorite traditions or memories of Thanksgiving?
My favorite tradition is my family’s “thankful for” jar. When I was about 6 years old my Mom started the tradition and we’ve done it every year since then. Here’s how it works, we get a large canning jar, some nuts, M&M’s, candy corn, or other small candy and nuts. We pass the jar around the table and saying either "Thank you God for…"or "I’m thankful for…", and then we drop one piece of candy in the jar for each 'thankful for'. We usually do this at lunch every day until Thanksgiving and then on Thanksgiving and the days following it we get to eat the candy and nuts. We each do 6 thankful fors everyday depending on the size of the candy or nuts we are using that day. We normally have 2-3 large canning jars filled by Thanksgiving.
I'm thankful for...
~My savior, Jesus Christ!
~My parents! They are so wonderful.
~My brothers and sisters...life is so awesome with them!
~ Extended family - some days I am more thankful for them than others.
~Friends
~All of the wonderful people here on NarniaWeb!
~Black Rifle Coffee - seriously good coffee!
~Canon cameras
~Books!
What are you thankful for this year?
