Let Us Give Thanks
Posted by Sprouts Staff
Thanksgiving is upon us and soon we will be gathered around a table with family, friends, and (most importantly) FOOD! Overall we’re enjoying the day in our own fashion; some might watch football, while others enjoy the Thanksgiving Day parades. The kids might play a video game or work on Thanksgiving Day crafts to keep them occupied. Then there are the rest of us who are stressed, watching a dozen pots on the stove in hopes of serving dinner on time.
No matter what the day’s activities hold, at the end everyone retreats to the final calm and sanctuary provided by the dinner table. Behold, the Thanksgiving Day feast is laid out before everyone. Around the table we’ll gorge ourselves on all the classic trimmings the feast has to offer: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and the like. At the end we’ll pause for a brief moment of thanks and then move on to dessert.
Those of us here at Sprouts have a unique Thanksgiving Day tradition we’d like to share. We gather our family and friends together before dinner and hand out plantable Wish Sprouters. Everyone writes down what they are thankful for on the Sprouter. At the end of the meal, we read to each other the things which we are thankful and then we plant our Wish Sprouters in a pot. As they grow into beautiful wild flowers throughout the year, we are reminded of all the things which we gave thanks.
