Thanksgiving Journal Prompts

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just over a week away. To help celebrate I thought I would post some Thanksgiving related prompts.

• What family traditions are you looking forward to this Thanksgiving?
• What family traditions are you hoping to avoid this Thanksgiving?
• Are there any special family recipes that you use for Thanksgiving?
• Where is your family celebrating Thanksgiving?
• Who will be at your Thanksgiving feast this year? Are there any new additions? Anyone missing?
• What activities does your family participate in while they're waiting for dinner?
• Do you use the good china or the paper stuff?
• Who prepares the meal? Did you make any culinary contributions to the meal?
• Write out the menu and who prepared what.
• What was your favorite dish? Least favorite?
• Where does everyone sit for dinner?
• Were there any interesting conversations during dinner?
• Write about dessert.
• Who cleans up the mess?
• What activities did your family participate in after dinner?
• What was your favorite memory of this Thanksgiving?
• Compare the Thanksgivings of your childhood to the Thanksgivings of your adult life.
• What was different about Thanksgiving this year?

If you want to prepare yourself for Thanksgiving, you could always write out 100 Things You Are Thankful For. It's not as easy as you might think to come up with 100 different things.
