The Moon Festival is the name for the celebrations in the Far East, and in South India it is known as Pongal. While many families celebrate with a traditional turkey dinner, there is no reason why new Thanksgiving traditions cannot be added to the time honored Thanksgiving customs.
If looking for new Thanksgiving traditions, then try putting your turkey into the oven to roast early in the morning and then getting everyone up to watch the famous Macy's Thanksgiving parade.
Your mouth will be watering with all of the wonderful aroma's filling the house and you can run to the kitchen to baste the turkey during the breaks.
New Thanksgiving traditions can be anything that you and your family want them to be, and one idea is to expand on the already existing theme of sharing. Not everyone is fortunate to have family near them, or even have any family at all.
So consider inviting someone to share your Thanksgiving if you know that they will be alone. Show just exactly what Thanksgiving is all about to your children. Invite someone without family to celebrate with into your home; someone who may otherwise spend this holiday in sadness and solitude.
Perhaps this is one tradition that you can instill in your children and they will pass this important message on to their children as well.
