We can all think back to our childhoods and remember certain foods, dishes, or games we had at our Thanksgiving dinners. To this day, we grasp onto the wonderful memories and think about how we can continue some of those same traditions, or even incorporate new ones, in our home.

Ideas to Encourage Fun in your Home
- Plan a special breakfast to eat every Thanksgiving morning while watching the parade on television.
- Bring out special Thanksgiving decorations and dishes to make the day unique.
- Start a special way for your family to express what they are thankful for.
- Perhaps your family could find a service project to participate in on or near Thanksgiving to give back to the community, or open your home to those without family in the area.
- Choose a game or activity that everyone participates in after the meal.
As long as you have laughter, you’re guaranteed to make memories. After all, laughter is one of the best sounds to hear in your home- even though it may be a little hard to do on a full stomach.
