Thanksgiving Tradition Makeover
The countdown to Thanksgiving is officially on and with it comes the chaos of the holiday season. Thanksgiving tradition may be all about togetherness and family, but it’s easy to lose sight of that when you’re up at 4 am putting a turkey in the oven. Why not take this year to start some new family traditions to help your whole family remember the importance of the holiday? Here are some ways you can incorporate new Thanksgiving tradition into your line-up and get your littles involved in the festivities.
Get Out and Volunteer
Thanksgiving is all about being thankful for the gifts we’ve been given, but the reality is that a lot of families won’t have the means to put a full meal on the table. Gather up the family and spend a day in the service of others. It’s a great opportunity to talk about the meaning behind the holiday season with your kids and the whole family (and to get them off their cellphones for a few minutes.)
There are several churches and food banks in the area that provide services to the hungry Sacramento community. Call your local church or you can contact Sacramento Loaves and Fishes which will be serving a Thanksgiving meal on Tuesday, Nov 20th. You could also call a local Assisted Living Center and spend some time after your own Thanksgiving meal visiting with the elderly who don’t have families. No matter how you choose to celebrate the holiday season, taking the time to help others is a worthy way to bring your family closer.
