1) Create a family poem or prayer you write together as a family each year for what your family is thankful for that year.
2) During dinner ask each member of the family to share their best/or favorite memory of being together or their favorite Thanksgiving memory.
3) Be a gift to someone in need. Invite a single friend, widow, colleague, military serviceman, elderly or any one who you know is alone this holiday to come share it with your family.
4) Give a Thanksgiving offering to a family in need. Prepare a meal or provide groceries to a family in need. You can check with your local non-profit organization, charities or churches for families in need.
5) Volunteer or have a tradition as a family to volunteer at a homeless shelter to feed the needy on Thanksgiving before you have your own family dinner.
