At church I heard a fun thing to do for Thanksgiving and Christmas. For the month of November everyday you write what you are thankful for on a strip of Christmas colored paper then you link them together to make a paper chain and use them as a garland for the Christmas tree.
I changed it a little and cut out 24 strips of paper (red, green and blue) for Madelyn and 24 for Hadley. And 24 days before Thanksgiving (November 4th) every night at dinner they each write something they are thankful for(with the help of Mom and Dad). Then by Thanksgiving they will have a chain of 24 links. Starting the 1st of December they can rip one off each day until Christmas Eve and we can talk about what they are thankful for again. I thought this was a great idea on keeping the holiday spirit alive so I thought I would share.
