Giving thanks

Tonight for family home evening I wanted to let the kids have a chance to think of some things they are grateful for. So I decided to cut strips of paper and have them (me) write those things down. After we wrote the things we are grateful for I put them in a pumpkin jar. I'm going to read them to everyone on Thanksgiving. But then I got to thinking, maybe instead of throwing the strips away in a few days, we could make a paper chain with the strips and use it on our Christmas tree!! In our home we have two Christmas trees. One in the living room and one in the family room. The one in the family room is the kids tree. That tree has fun toy ornaments and ornaments that have been passed down over the years. It will be a perfect tree for our "thankful chain"
