Thanksgiving is not just about food but also a time to reflect and give thanks.
We discovered this adorable project from HGTV that captures the true spirit of the holiday — creating a Thankful Tree! Each family member writes what they’re grateful for on colorful leaves, which are then added to the tree. By the end, you’ll have a beautiful display of gratitude and love to share during your Thanksgiving celebration.
