UNIT DESCRIPTION:

Transform Your Holiday Season with Intentional Gratitude and Family Traditions

Is your heart yearning for more intentional gratitude this holiday season? Do you long for rich, meaningful discussions, shared traditions, and a sense of connection with your family—all wrapped in the simplicity and warmth of autumn? If so, this unit is exactly what you need to create the Thanksgiving you’ve been dreaming of.

Reconnect Through Gratitude and Tradition
This unit invites your family to slow down, refocus, and share moments that truly matter. Imagine looking into each other’s eyes (or writing heartfelt letters) as you express what you’re grateful for. Picture your children interviewing their grandparents, recording family traditions—new and old—to pass down through generations. Every lesson brings opportunities for creating new traditions, from heartfelt gestures for those who are homeless, hurting, or lonely, to playful activities like pumpkin bowling.

Dive into the difference between happiness and gratitude with thought-provoking discussions, including a biblical exploration of true thankfulness. And, of course, what would Thanksgiving be without some festive treats? We’ve included recipes for fun fall favorites like candy apples, pumpkin spice lattes, and harvest dip to make your season extra sweet!

Effortless Planning for Moms, Festive Fun for Families
This unit is designed to be MUCH SIMPLER than our other studies, offering a refreshing balance of fun and meaning. Moms will love the built-in and AMAZING Thanksgiving planner, making holiday prep a breeze. And whether you’re in the U.S. or Canada, you’ll uncover the fascinating stories behind Thanksgiving—from the Pilgrims and Native Americans, to Sir Martin Frobisher and Samuel de Champlain. Discover what Thanksgiving truly means for both countries!

A Short, Sweet Study that Fits Right Into Your Fall
With just 12 bite-sized lessons, this unit fits perfectly into your Thanksgiving holiday. Complete one or two lessons a day at your own pace, allowing you to focus on what matters most—spending time together. Whether it’s cozying up with hot cocoa, baking treats, or learning about Native traditions, this unit brings a sense of warmth and togetherness that will make this Thanksgiving one to remember.

New Traditions, Sweet Memories
You’ll be creating new family traditions, embracing long-lost customs, and even learning secret family codes. With poetry, music, and delicious recipes like our must-try pumpkin spice latte, there’s something for everyone—even dads! And while you’re enjoying the fall festivities, you’ll also be learning bits of American and Canadian history, making this a truly enriching experience.

Above All, It’s About Gratitude
This unit focuses on the true heart of Thanksgiving: giving thanks. Throughout the lessons, you’ll be drawn closer to one another and refocus your attention on the one who deserves our gratitude most: Jesus. You’ll experience moments of laughter, deep sharing, and heartfelt gratitude, bringing the true meaning of Thanksgiving to life.
