We bow our hearts to You and pray.
We give You thanks for all You've done
Especially for the gift of Jesus, Your Son.
For beauty in nature, Your glory we see
For joy and health, friends and family,
For daily provision, Your mercy and care
These are the blessings You graciously share.
So today we offer this response of praise
With a promise to follow You all of our days.

In our family our thankisgiving tradition is after the meal we open the Christmas season by playing a holiday tape by Kenny G I inherited it from my mother 7 years ago and it is alway the first Christmas music we listen to every year then on new years day we play it again and its the last Christmas music of the season. i know it sound goofy but it really isn’t Christmas till I hear that tape
Hi Eric -
I think the “goofyness” of our family traditions is what makes them so special to us.
We started a silly tradition of watching “The Muppet Christmas Carol” each year with my husband’s family. For some reason the tradition stuck with us and we look forward to it each Thanksgiving. We even tried watching a different movie one year, but it just wasn’t the same.
