Small Thanksgivings - A Delight All It's Own
Scattered all across this land today, my family is celebrating Thanksgiving together in spirit, but not in body. Gatherings of 20-30 persons, that we all love so much, are dwindled to smaller numbers when life circumstances keep us from traveling. This year it was going to be 8 of us at my house, but then strep throat struck and our number dwindled down to 4, including the toddler.

Candy Cornucopia
Want a fun, easy food craft to make your Thanksgiving day sparkle? Try Candy Cornucopia.
This simple project has cheered me up today, a woman celebrating Thanksgiving away from home and bogged down with too many things to list here. Sound familiar? I'm certain most of us could say we feel bogged down with too many things to list.
Our Thanksgiving table is going to be simple by American standards. Only 5 dishes, including the pie. But at the last minute I've decided to include this party favor for each place setting. I've never done this candy craft before, but it took me 15 minutes to assemble 8 plates, and it is delighting me from my fingers to my toes.
You can build this with any variation of candy you prefer. What's in mine? Three smarties, a handful of gummy bears, 2 skinny cow dreamy clusters, and a handful of jolly rancher sour bites. All stuffed in a waffle cone and laid on a paper plate.
My daughter and nephews are gonna get big eyes when they see this. And I'm glad there will be one waiting on my plate too because I kinda feel like I'm 10 years old again at the moment.
Happy Thanksgiving!
