Scrapbooking Thanksgiving Poems
Holidays are a time when traditions are held closely, and sentiment
is dear. When composing a family scrapbook, you will find that much of
the content is made up of holiday content. Christmas time is most
likely the season in which you will base much of your winter holiday
themes around. But what about Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is a
wonderful opportunity to really chronicle your family’s thoughts and time
together. A great addition to the information you collect
would be Thanksgiving poems. Lighthearted and fun, these poem
selections give you the chance to choose sentiment as it is reflected
in words. Sound cheesy? Thanksgiving poems offer a reflection in words
that one will appreciate especially after the passage of time. Words
have the mysterious ability to bring you back to a thought sequence or
state of mind that you were in when those words were originally first
spoken or read.
Sources:
Where to find Thanksgiving poems? You can find a great amount of
useable verse online. Prayers that are repeated often, songs that are
sung, and children’s books are terrific places to begin the search for
Thanksgiving poems. Have a child sit down and create a ‘Things I am
Thankful For” poem. These are sure hits and are often points of much
discussion and debate among the children in years to come.
One of the best Thanksgiving poem layouts I have seen was a simple
poem, written by a six-year old boy on parchment paper. At the bottom
of the page, his mother and all of their family members signed and
dated it. This was an excellent preservation of the little boy’s
thoughts and feelings as well as a very unique presentation of them.
Themes:
Thanksgiving poems make for great inclusions in party themed
scrapbooks as well. If your office or workplace celebrates
Thanksgiving and you intend on including pictures and materials from
the party, a fun way to involve your co-workers and employees would be
to bring a sheet of plain notebook paper and ask each of them to
compose one line of the poem, each trying to rhyme with the last,
explaining a piece or portion of their life for which they are the
most thankful. If you exercise a little bit of forethought and mention
this to them prior to the party, you could even have them bring in an
item relating to the object of their thankfulness and find a way to
fit that into the layout as well. Be sure that they understand that
they will be unable to receive these items back and that they
shouldn’t be too personal in nature. That being said, you will find
yourself amazed at the items of which your fellow co-workers will
provide!
A cute and smart wedding theme using your Thanksgiving poems would
be to ask guests and family before the wedding to compose short verses
about the couple-to-be. Furnish them with small pieces of ivory paper
or parchment and pens and tell them to get to work! You can provide a
small basket somewhere at the reception for them to place them in and
put it away until you have the chance to put everything together.
Depending on the type and thickness of your paper choice, you can furl
and fray the edges of your paper on the top and bottom before pasting
it into your scrapbook area, creating miniature scrolls. For a
simpler option, do a set of "his and hers" Thanksgiving
poems---being sure to include thankfulness for each other, of course!
Thanksgiving poems are a fun and unique way to bring a little
character to the Thanksgiving area of your scrapbooks. A few verses
can add a lot of flavor to your holiday scrapbook serving!
