Lu created The Thankful Bowl. During the day - everyone could jot down anything on a little piece of paper and throw it in the bowl. After dinner, full on carbs and butter, we passed the bowl around, taking turns pulling out pieces of paper and reading them aloud.
That little bowl was overflowing with gratefulness. And listening to it all - from our loved ones to our four legged loved ones to our homes to our neighbors that shovel the snow .... it was the perfect moment in a perfect day. (the thankful bowl = a very good idea.)
Hope your holiday was just as warm and fuzzy.
