You’ve got me thinking. I know my girls are small, but I still think we could emphasize thankfulness this month….for ourselves as much as for them.

What a great idea to make this a “Season.” You reminded me of a great activity I did with Joey last year that I should do again. We (I) cut out tons of large paper leaves. Then we worked together to think of the things we were thankful for and wrote them on the leaves, then strung them up like a garland. Feel free to pass along any other ideas you have to make this a season of Thankfulness!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot, too.

my husband REFUSES to let us decorate for Christmas before thanksgiving. mostly i think it’s the principle, but i like your ideas of being very intentional about thanksgiving. i think we may join you. (especially since we are doing a unit on thanksgiving for preschool!)

Great idea. After spending extended time in an attitude of Thanksgiving – that Thursday will just become another blessing given to us – to praise and thank our Lord for giving to us – family, friends, freedom, our salvation, His strength to bear our trials and sufferings. He is so loving and gracious – how can we not give thanks daily!

Thanksgiving is forgotten because THEY don’t want us to be thankful. They want us to be dissatisfied, to WANT. If we are thankful and happy then why would spend more money on things we really don’t need or could have gotten or made cheaper just as useful but not as “desirable” items.

I agree!
