Thanksgiving Day is right around the corner. While we all have our time-treasured traditions, perhaps you’ll find a few ideas here to to add to your own day of gratitude.
One of the most iconic traditions — other than sitting down to enjoy a traditional turkey dinner with the family — is watching the Macy’s Day Parade? Most of the time, it’s a televised tradition. But if you happen to be in New York City on Thanksgiving Day, here are some great tips on the best way to see the parade, as well as how to take part in the balloon inflation the night before.
Looking for something a little more active? Try a few of these calorie-burning ideas.
Taking a walk- Playing touch football
- Having a silly dance contest
- Holding three-legged or sack race
If inclement weather is drives you indoors, you may want to consider one of these cozier options:
- Snuggling up with your Minky and watch a movie. Find your favorite from this list of most popular Christmas flicks.
- Playing a board game or charades.
- Having a sing-a-long or play Guess That Tune.
- Holding a kids talent show.
- Sharing memories. Pick a theme (the greatest day of your life, the best thing that happened to you this year, your favorite childhood memory) and tell stories.
- Creating a treasure hunt for simple prizes.
- Putting together a family Thanksgiving journal. Grab a blank notebook, then write down everyone’s thank yous for the year. Then do the same next year so you can build a treasured family book of thanks.
No matter how you choose to spend your Thanksgiving, we hope you do so surrounded by those whom you hold dear. From all of us, Happy Thanksgiving!
