Thanksgiving is the time of the year when many of us share a good meal and enjoy a fun time with our family, friends, and pets. Over the years, you have probably developed some beloved family traditions for "Turkey Day," from the food you prepare to activities for before and after dinner. If you are looking for new ways to make new memories this coming holiday season, we have compiled a list of some of our favorite Thanksgiving traditions.

• Write down what you are thankful for and incorporate that into unique thank-you notes to the people who have supported you throughout the year.
• Be mindful of connecting with family members who are far away and make time to share beloved family stories.
• Get active by going for a post-dinner family walk or sign up for a group fun run or Turkey Trot near you.
• Host a "Friendsgiving" potluck and get everyone involved in the dinner, like decorating Thanksgiving-themed cookies.
• Find opportunities to volunteer in your community such as helping out at a local animal shelter, assisting a neighbor, or organizing a collection for your local food bank.

No matter how or where you choose to celebrate, we hope you enjoy a very happy Thanksgiving holiday!
