A new fall tradition: Thankful Pumpkins

Leaves are dropping and temperatures are down, but perhaps the truest sign that fall has arrived is the opening of local pumpkin patches. While families often pick up a pumpkin for carving or decoration, there’s a new tradition to try – Thankful Pumpkins.

Creating a Thankful Pumpkin is simple: using permanent markers and a pumpkin, write down things you are most grateful for. Start by jotting down a few of your top blessings and add to the list day by day until Thanksgiving.

Thankful Pumpkins are a unique way to meaningfully connect with family and visualize the things that matter most.
