Tree of Thanksgiving..........

Last year I hosted Thanksgiving dinner for my family.

Beside the front door, before the guests could

even get into my house,

was my (well-used and versatile) twig tree.

Beside it was a basket of blank tags and various pens.

Guests wrote one, two, three...or more

things they were thankful for

on the 

tags.

They then hung them on the tree.

Even my young niece that was in kindergarten

managed to fill out several tags.

At the end of the evening,

we brought in the

Tree of Thanksgiving

and read each

blessing aloud.

This brought about many 

additional 

gratitudes, compliments, memories and agreements.

This year I will once again 

host Thanksgiving.

The tree is ready,

as are the new tags.

And the old tags have a special 

place of honor as well.

What can you have waiting

on your guests

to document all those blessings?
