-Make your own applesauce. Apples are in season (and cheaper) so take advantage of it now! Here's how I do it.
-Create a thankful jar for an important person in your life. Fill it throughout the month with all the reasons and examples of why you're thankful for them. What an impact this could make in their life!
-Google a couple of your family's Thanksgiving traditions. Make a game out of it by having everyone guess before revealing the truth. More often than not, we have no idea how certain things got started!
-Plan to try one new thing for your Thanksgiving holiday. Maybe a new craft, new recipe or start a new tradition! Even if your new thing is an EPIC FAIL, you'll still make a fun memory with your family!
-Clean out your pantry and donate items to a food drive or food bank. Or even better with your family or friends, hold a fund/food drive to benefit your local food bank. The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is always accepting donations and makes it easy! Look for something similar in your area.
-Take some pictures! Document the leaves changing colors and capture where your family is right now, for better or worse.
-Before the holiday chaos ensues, sit down and reflect on the year that is quickly coming to an end.

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

Such good ideas! The Boy Scouts will be collecting cans on November 17th and they come right to your door. So all you have to do is answer your door!
