Thanksgiving Blessing
Bugles: Shaped like a cornucopia or Horn of Plenty, a
symbol of our nation's abundance.
Pretzels: Arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought by
those who founded our country.
Candy corn: Sacrifices of the Pilgrims' first winter. Food
was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn a day.
Nuts or seeds: Promise of a future harvest, one we will reap
only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.
Dried fruits: Harvest gifts of our bountiful land.
M&Ms: Memories of those who came before us to guide
us to a blessed future.
Hershey's Kiss: The love of family and friends that sweetens
our lives.
