Thanksgiving

Turkey Blessings Puzzle/Game

It’s tough to be a turkey
Who’s plain old boring brown.
Please count your many blessings
And turn my life around.
A feather for each blessing
Will make a brighter me.
And every color will reveal
How grateful you can be.

By Jennifer Hughes

Cut out this page and glue it to heavy paper. When the glue is dry, print the name of a favorite blessing on the tip of each tail feather. Color each feather a different color or combination of colors. Cut out the whole turkey, and then cut out each tail feather separately.

Your family can put the turkey together like a puzzle, each person choosing a blessing and telling why he is grateful for it as he adds that feather. Or you can play Pin the Blessings on the Turkey. Tape the turkey body on the wall. Put tape on the back of each blessing feather. Blindfold each player in turn, spin him around, and let him try to “pin” a feather on the turkey where it belongs

Blessing Mix

2 C Bugles

2 C Pretzels

1 C Candy Corn

1C Dried Fruit

1 C Sunflower Seeds

These are shaped like a cornucopia, the horn of plenty

The shape symbolizes our arms folded in thanks and prayer

During the first winter, the pilgrims were each allotted 5 kernels of corn per year because food was so scarce.

Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest

Seeds represent the potential of a bounteous harvest for the next season if they're planted and well tended.

"And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive

and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering;

being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times;

asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal;

"Always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive." Alma 7:23

The 12 Days of Thanksgiving

On the First Day.....
We give thanks for the fresh turkey feast and its hot trimmings.

On the Second Day.....
We bless the cold turkey sandwiches, sloshy cranberry sauce, and hard rolls.

On the Third Day.....
We praise the turkey pie and vintage mixed veggies.

On the Fourth Day.....
We thank the pilgrims for not serving bison that first time, or we'd be celebrating Thanksgiving until April.

On the Fifth Day.....
We gobble up cubed bird casserole and pray for a glimpse of a naked turkey carcass.

On the Sixth Day.....
We show gratitude (sort of) to the creative cook who slings cashews at the turkey and calls it Oriental.

On the Seventh Day.....
We forgive our forefathers and pass the turkey-nugget pizza.

On the Eighth Day.....
The word ''vegetarian'' keeps popping into our heads.

On the Ninth Day.....
We check our hair to make sure we're not beginning to sprout feathers.

On the Tenth Day.....
We hope that the wing meat kabobs catch fire under the broiler.

On the Eleventh Day.....
We smile over the creamed gizzard because the thigh bones are in sight.

On the Twelfth Day.....
We apologize for running out of turkey leftovers. And everybody says, "Amen!"
