Thanksgiving

[Wendy and Myla]

This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada - I know that for most of you Thanksgiving is another six weeks away but I thought it would be fun to see what your favourite Thanksgiving traditions are!  I'm having dinner here on Monday and am looking for some different ideas like recipes, centrepieces and just different traditions that we could start! 

I'll start by saying that I like hollowing out a small pumpkin and putting in a plant for my tabletop centrepiece - then on Hallowe'en I use the same centrepiece but get small plastic spiders from the dollar store and put pins in them and attach them to the pumpkin for a scarier centrepiece! I used to make one of these for my desk at work also - it was a big hit with clients!

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well Judi...from a fellow Ontarian!

My mom, grandma, aunts, and I always look through the black friday catalogues while dinner is cooking :)

I like hollowing out mini pumpkins with a tea light in it.

That's a great idea too - I always buy mini pumpkins and let our grandchildren draw faces and their names on them but I think I'll hollow them out first and then they have a present for their parents!  They'll love it!!  Thank you!
