The Gratitude Game

My kids and I have started a new holiday tradition. Each night at dinner, we go around the circle and each name 3 things we're grateful for. Each night, we have to come up with a different 3 items.

Here are some things my kids are grateful for.

My mom. :)
Snow.
That we're not poor.
My green blanket.
Time.
That mom threw away the disgusting cookies she made and started over (in reference to a batch of gingerbread that tasted like salt water)
My teeth.
This yummy dinner.

I've watched sour moods turn sweet as we go round the table and list our 3 items.

Gratitude is a powerful potion!

Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice, Joy and Peace to All
