I have made this little Thanksgiving handout in the past years (we used to give them to the birthmothers at Thanksgiving time) and I have made them for friends and family, but not this year. I just don't want to deal with it. But if you want a cute idea, this one is fun! Put the snack in cute little bags with a bow and this attached.
BLESSING MIX
Each ingredient in this snack mix symbolizes something associated with Thanksgiving.
Bugles: shaped as a cornucopia, a horn of plenty.
Pretzels: represent arms folded in thanks & prayer.
Candy Corn: during the first winter, the pilgrims were each allotted only five kernels of corn per day because food was so scarce.
Dried Fruit: Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest.
Nuts: seeds represent the potential of a bounteous harvest for the next season if they are planted and well tended.
Have a Happy Harvest Holiday!
