Thanksgiving: A Time of Giving and Receiving |
| Holding a Thanksgiving party is a great way to tell your friends and families of all ages how thankful you feel to have them. Thanksgiving party supplies and decorations can be things from the garden or the farmers market: corn stalks, sun flower bouquets, hay bails, varieties of squash and gourds, and a nice collection of colored leaves. Place cards can be made from construction paper, or by decorating miniature pumpkins and noting a guest name on each. Other themes can be more specific than just an autumnal or fall theme. Themes like the first Thanksgiving Dinner (including Pilgrims and Native Americans), Abundant Crops (cornucopias and scarecrows), Turkeys, and football. Matching paper napkins, paper plates, cups, and table runners or cloths can carry the theme even more completely. Maybe, though, now is the time to add a new twist to the standard Thanksgiving Party. When issuing invitations to your guests, ask them for there help and support. Let them know that as thankful as you are for their friendship and support, that Thanksgiving is the perfect time for each of you to make a small bit of difference for someone else. Note on the invitations that while you won’t be having a pot-luck party, you will be accepting donations that will be turned over to the local food bank to help make Thanksgiving Dinners for other needy families in your neighborhood. Then, at the party, have a collection basket for guests to place their donations in. Then, after the party has came and gone, take the time to deliver the donations to the appropriate locations to help benefit others. Who knows? Perhaps while you are showing gratitude for all that you currently have, those you have helped will be directing their thanks to those individuals like yourself who gave them something to be grateful for. |
