Thanksgiving is about spending time with family and friends, eating good food, and having a heart of gratitude. It’s a great time to reflect on all the blessings of the year and have fun and meaningful conversations!
One of my favorite traditions on Thanksgiving is after eating (way too much) delicious food, my family and I will sit in a circle in the living room and take turns going around and sharing one thing we are thankful for, or doing a “Conversation Starter” activity where we pick out a card with a question on it, answer it, and then pick someone else to answer it as well. Some of the questions are silly. Some of them are sentimental. And some of them are serious. But they give us an opportunity to bond and have a good conversation together!
