How can Janis Elspas's family activities inspire your Thanksgiving celebration?

I love how Janis Elspas’s family activities focus on gratitude, creativity, and togetherness, and you can easily borrow those themes for your own Thanksgiving.

• Make simple DIY place settings: bundle silverware with ribbon and tuck in a flower or herb sprig so kids can help create a special table
• Use squash and gourds as natural centerpieces for an easy, beautiful tablescape
• Add a small “gratitude moment” at the table where everyone shares something they’re thankful for
• Choose a meaningful wine or special drink to elevate the meal and make toasts feel intentional

Which of these feels most inspiring for your Thanksgiving this year?
