Thanksgiving: Enjoy the Season!




Happy Week Before Thanksgiving!

Q: What are three traditions your family does around this time?
A: (Comment below)

Q: Do you travel for break, or does family come to you?
A: (Comment below)

When the holidays are as close as they are, life can get crazy. It's a balance of everyday life, school, average activities, prep for Thursday, holiday activities, cooking, decorating, and prep for being with your other side of the family. It's not only a lot for your mom to juggle, but for you as well!
You might be expected to help with certain chores that you wouldn't normally do, plus cook, finish all your homework, and take care of the pets. But would you rather choose this busy life? OR just skip Thanksgiving all together? Take the quiz below to find out!

Would you rather...

A: Go with the flow
B: Stick to routine

A: Travel for Thanksgiving
B: Family come to home

A: Cook your own turkey
B: Buy a pre-made one

A: Spend Thanksgiving with every member of your ENTIRE family? (Including out of town)
B: Enjoy Thanksgiving with your close family

Whether or not you chose A or B on the quizzes, you can't really choose any of your preferences in real life. There are things that will happen no matter what; like your worst favorite Aunt coming to stay until Christmas, or your family decides to travel to Alaska over break. The only thing that will be your biggest problem, is your attitude. How will you decide to handle what happens?
Here are seven ideas to try over Thanksgiving!


  1. Enjoy the season without stressing over little things 
  2. Plan a fun activity to do with the family
  3. Be the first to greet Great Uncle George
  4. Make a craft for every family member 
  5. Start a Clean Plate Club with your younger cousins at suppertime
  6. Help your mom with the cooking...and the cleaning up! '
  7.  Dress your siblings in orange white and brown:-) 
Relax. Take a deep breath. Sing a song. Make a movie. Get creative! Don't be the disconnected teen that sits in a corner on Thanksgiving. Seriously! Enjoy the season!!!

Meet Mimi! My great-grandmother on my dad's side of the family! She moved from Mississippi to Sparta to be closer to us! She and my Papa are generous people and I love them. The elderly people are very smart and they need to be treated with respect. They have lived longer than us and they know more about life and decisions. They know how you feel right now at your age because they have been that age and they know what you're feeling, (well, maybe not word for word) and what you need! -Candice

> This week my baby sister, Angel (age 2), was in the hospital with respitory issues for three days. She made it out okay and I am thankful for her. I love her. Even though sometimes she comes in my room and gets into things, she still is important to me. One day I even saved her life when she was choking on apples. Ever since then I have been thinking, "What if I had not been there for her?!" "What if she had choked and no one saw her?!" You may have not saved your sister's life from a life-threatening issue, but that is no excuse for not being there for them in other situations. They need you! And God sent them in your family for a purpose!
