I think she's probably right, so let's enjoy the peace while we can. :-) My daughter tells me that any day now they’re going to come up with some magic turkey who leaves gifts the night before Thanksgiving.

We cut out photos, pictures, magazines, etc and made them collage-like. Each one was personalized for each person at the feast. They were easy to do, a fun school project, and went over VERY WELL with the relatives. (by the way, most of my relatives are public school teachers who are more and more being sold on my kids being homeschooled!)

I try to make them personal and sometimes they relate to childhood memories. For instance, last year I thanked my brother for never telling our parents that I helped tie dye our white husky with food coloring. I get a good response every year and every now and then I get one in return. In addition to this, this year I am starting a thankful tablecloth where we each add some special event (like a birth or marriage) that we are thankful for to our Thanksgiving tablecloth. I think it will make a nice heirloom one day. I am having it embroidered, but you could use fabric markers. I like to send Thank you notes out at Thanksgiving to my friends and family.
