Now this is a very nice idea for Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Tree
Designed as an autumn decoration, the Thanksgiving Tree provides families with an opportunity to write "thank-you" notes on leaves that are hung on the tree.
The autumn-colored Leaf Notes are blank on one side with the words "Thank You" on the other. Throughout the days before Thanksgiving, and as people arrive for Thanksgiving dinner, family members and guests are encouraged to write a note of gratitude on a leaf-note and hang it on the tree.
Following dinner and before dessert, or at some other appropriate time, The Thanksgiving Tree is placed at the center of the table. Those gathered are invited to share what they have written on their leaf-note or other thoughts and feelings about the meaning of Thanksgiving Day
"For many," says Bates, "this time of sharing has become the most important and meaningful part of the Thanksgiving celebration." Response to the Thanksgiving Tree has been overwhelmingly positive.
"Families are grateful for a resource that makes it easy to talk and share important thoughts and feelings," says Bates.
