We put together a box of family "thoughts" for the season. This is a family friendly project for the holidays. Take a shoe box with a lid and cover it with wrapping paper that will match your holiday decorations. Decorate it with garland, ornaments, stickers or whatever your family enjoys. Cut a slit on top large enough to put slips of paper into the box. Have each member of your family put great thoughts about each other into the box. When friends or family stop by, invite them to add to the box. What you write on the notes can be as simple as an "I love you" or more specific such as "You make me proud when you ...". The ideas are limitless. Put together the box around Thanksgiving and put notes in throughout the holidays. We usually open our box on Christmas Eve and read all of our messages. It is a great family time and a reality check after the rush and stress of the holiday season.
