“I bring meals to new moms.”

“I share at least three sincere compliments each day.”

A Shared Experience

Turn gratitude into a creative and meaningful holiday tradition. Start by inviting family members to collect photos that represent moments of thankfulness from the past year.

During a cozy family night, take turns sharing the stories behind each photo, weaving together a tapestry of cherished memories.

As the stories are told, compile the photos and their descriptions into a digital slideshow or a family gratitude journal.

Gratitude in Focus

Take a holiday-themed gratitude walk with your phone or camera in hand. As you stroll through your neighborhood or a decorated area, look for sights that inspire feelings of gratitude—twinkling lights, cheerful snowmen, or cozy winter scenes.

Snap a photo of each moment or object that reminds you of something you’re thankful for this year. Later, create a digital collage or print the photos to display as a holiday gratitude gallery.

Crafting Gratitude

Celebrate the season with a heartfelt tradition by creating personalized gratitude ornaments. Start with simple ornaments—wood, glass, or sturdy paper—and gather art supplies like paints, markers, or stickers. Invite each family member to design an ornament that captures something they’re especially thankful for this year, using symbols, words, or drawings to tell their story.

As the ornaments come to life, take a moment to share the meaning behind each design. Display them proudly on your holiday tree, or string them together to create a “gratitude garland” as a beautiful reminder of what matters most.
