As I was looking for some Thanksgiving activities, I came across a song that we use to sing at our Thanksgiving feast in elementary school. It put a huge smile on my face and fond memories came flooding back in a flash. Every year, my mom would make sure we had our home sewn Pilgrim or Indian costume for the feast.

She would think about how the child would feel about each of the items placed in the boxes. Just like with regular gifts, we took the extra care to place tissue paper in the box around the items to make everything look…
