Thanksgiving Blessing Mix

Bugles: Shaped like a cornucopia or Horn of Plenty, a symbol of our nation's abundance.

Pretzels: Arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought by those who founded our country.

Candy Corn: Sacrifices of the Pilgrims' first winter. Food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn a day.

Nuts or seeds: Promise of a future harvest, one we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.

Dried fruits or raisins: Harvest gifts of our bountiful land

M&Ms: Memories & Memories of those who came before us to guide us to a blessed future.

Hershey's Kiss: The love of family and friends that sweeten our lives.

Cut out tags, and attach one to each bag.
