What are some non-food ways or non-thigh-growing ways we can celebrate Thanksgiving?
1. We can send items to the troops to thank them
2. We can help serve food to the homeless or help in a food bank
3. We can leave pumpkin cookies on the neighbors'/friend's/coworker's doorstep in a 'ding-dong ditch' fashion, along with a card that says, "I'm thankful to have you for my neighbor/friend/coworker"
4. We can visit a retirement home and take some cookies
5. Visit the local VFW hall or Va and take cookies to them saying, "I'm thankful for your service"
6. Plan to take a meal to the local fire station to thank firefighters who are on duty, even on Thanksgiving.
7. Go out for dinner on Thanksgiving. This way, there's no clean-up or temptation, and you can toss out what doesn't get eaten.
8. Invite a bachelor, widower or college student for dinner. You can be their family away from family!
9. Invite someone from a foreign country over to celebrate with you. We have friends from all over the world come have dinner with us! We learn a lot about other cultures, too!
10. Watch a "Charlie Brown Thanksgiving".
11. Make an after-dinner walk a part of the new plan. Go collect leaves on your journey, and make a placemat from them by sandwiching the leaves between 2 clear pieces of Contact-Paper.
12. This year send out Thanksgiving letters instead of Christmas letters. You'll beat the rush, and what fun you can have letting people know you are thankful to know them.
Please add your ideas! And remember: as 2big always says, holidays are about memories and people... not food.
