[Closed] Thanksgiving- I'm thankful for...

Today is November 1st, that means just 24 days and counting until Thanksgiving. So I’m starting this year’s Thanksgiving thread. Here we will discuss what we like best about Thanksgiving Day, our favorite traditions, and what we like to do on/for Thanksgiving. My favorite tradition is my family’s “thankful for” jar. My Mom start this tradition when I was about 6 years old and we’ve done it every year since. Here’s how it works, you get a large canning jar (ior any container wide enough mouth to stick your hand in), some nuts, M&M’s, candy corn, or other small candy and nuts. We pass the jar around the table and say either "Thank you God for…"or "I’m thankful for…", and then we drop one piece of candy for each 'thankful for'. We usually do this at lunch every day until Thanksgiving and then on Thanksgiving we get to eat the candy and nuts. And I thought we could do it on here, minus the jar and candy. ;)

So, I’m Thankful For…
~My Savior Jesus Christ
~My wonderful parents
~My awesome brothers and sisters
~My extend family, who’s coming to visit for Thanksgiving
~Early morning walks with Scarlet
~Playing games with my siblings
~My Dad taking my siblings and I to the library yesterday
~My Bible
~Revelation by Third Day
~Chocolate

So my fellow NarniaWebbers, what are you thankful for today?

I'm thankful for...
- My best friend Rachel Hawkins. (I took out her real name and put her old username on the forums instead).
- Jesus Christ
- My youth group
- Music

Short list I know.

I don't really have any traditions for Thanksgiving except to eat as much pie as possible. Besides that I don't really do anything.

I am from Russia and most people don't celebrate Thanksgiving (for obvious reasons ;) ), but since my family studies in an American school, we celebrate it. We don't have any traditions. We make a special dinner and say what we are thankful for. Sometimes we play some games.
Here is my list of thanks

For Jesus
For NarniaWeb :D
For my family
For Christian music

I am thankful for God's amazing grace that saved me forever and conforms me daily to the image of Christ.

Every Thanksgiving, me and my cousins, and a few uncles, play football in the nearby field. Then we usually play ping pong in the basement or Mafia, Apples to Apples, and Dictionary. ;)
There's a lot of good things to be thankful for, like my job, school, friends, sports, national parks, coffee =)) , and so on.

I am so thankful for Jesus, period. Without him, I won't be posting in this thread, walking and running with my feet, eating three times a day (or four), being good at school, living a happy life, etc.

The number one thing for which I am thankful is my family. This is the first year that I've lived away from them (in a college dorm) and it has been so incredibly difficult for me. The experience has just showed me how much I love my family.

I'm also very thankful for my Saviour and friend, Jesus Christ. Without whom, I likely wouldn't have had the strength to carry on in this new venture of my life.
