Thanks Giving
A great idea from An Ordinary Mom :
One tradition our family started last year was to have a Thanks Tree and a Giving Tree** posted in our home (graphics available at the end of this entry). Every evening, each person in the family takes two leaves. On one leaf they write down something they are grateful for and put it on the Thanks Tree. On the other leaf they write down a service they performed that day and they put that leaf on the Giving Tree. The act of service can be something as simple as sharing a smile, helping when asked with a cheerful attitude or saying, “I love you.”…
