Things To Do This Thanksgiving – Other Than Eat!
Turkey Trot is an idea!
I love Thanksgiving dinner but there are also other things to do this Thanksgiving holiday! Here are just a few thoughts:
1. Volunteer at a homeless shelter! What a wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving Day. Giving back to the community and helping those who are less fortunate.
2. Visit a retirement home and come bearing goodies! Some of the elderly have to spend Thanksgiving alone as they do not have family near or their family is not able to visit during the holidays. This is the perfect time to brighten someone else’s day.
3. Turkey Trot. Turkey Trot is a nationwide event that happens on Thanksgiving day. Runners and walkers will sign up to help a good cause and burn some calories. I have to say this sounds too ambitious for me.
4. Go to a Christmas lighting festival. Many churches, shopping centers and streets will have their annual Christmas lighting on Thanksgiving eve or night. This would be the perfect way to get the family in the holiday spirit.
5. Watch Thanksgiving movies with the family. Or alone, whichever you prefer. I like Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Charlie Brown Thanksgiving & Pieces of April.
