This year for Thanksgiving I am doing something just a little different. I got these great little blue overall party favors from Lillian Verson company and am personalizing them for all our guests.

These will serve as the placecard for everyone on Thanksgiving Day.

In addition to being pretty placecards, they will hold notes from each of the guests.

I have designed a note card for everyone with everyone’s name on it. Each guest will get a complete set of names in an envelope with a pen. On the top of each card is a pretty turkey and pumpkin clip art and each card says:

Dear (fill in the guest’s name)
I am thankful for you because: (and the guest fills this out and puts in each person’s overall).

During desert we will ask everyone to read one or two from their favor and they can take the rest home.

This is one of my all-time favorites and because my family likes it so much, we do it every year!

Here’s a simple Thanksgiving activity/tradition that does not take any preparation and it makes everyone feel good about themselves.

Sharing Gratitude

Each person turns to the person to their left (or right) and says one thing they do (or represent) for which they are thankful.

For example let’s say my daughter was sitting next to me. I would turn to her and say out loud, that I am thankful for the sense of humor she has, and how many times I smile and laugh because of her. (Contributed by Mia)
Here’s a little Thanksgiving number that is also easy to plan:

Yesterday I posted a tradition that one of our readers shared with me.  Here’s another one:

Gifts of Thanks
At the last Thanksgiving that I hosted, I did some similar “activities”.  The table was decorated of course with Thanksgiving confetti, “fabric leaves” from the art store, chocolate shaped candy, other Thanksgiving items, and at each place setting, I had a small gift bag that had each recipients name on it(found these at a card store), inside each were a few small trinkets, Lindt chocolate wrapped in matching fall colors,  and shredded tissue paper.

I had also searched the internet about Thanksgiving and thoughtful sayings/holiday significance and I printed one for each person and placed that along side their personalized gift bag.  We each took turns reading our quote or saying, and adding any personal thoughts.  I had also done a search on Thanksgiving games and created a Thanksgiving Trivia game – we couldn’t eat until we played.  It was so much fun and everyone was involved in the process.
