Well, after a vacation to visit family and friends out in California we’re back with a new installment of HMHS Vintage Video. And just in time for the holiday season!

From 1951, the Homemade Homeschoolers Podcast presents: A Day of Thanksgiving.

Like many, the family in this film is unable to afford a turkey for their Thanksgiving meal, but use the opportunity of the holiday to focus on the things that they have been blessed with. After all, that is what a day of Thanksgiving is really about, just as the chorus of the beloved hymn encourages us to do every day: “Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count you blessings, see what God hath done”.

Use this film in a discussion of the true meaning behind the 1st Thanksgiving holiday with your children.

We would also encourage you to read our Thanksgiving post from last year titled “Thankfulness”. And as we enter this time of the year you may also want to consider our PDF download lesson on writing a proper Thank You letter. The file includes stationary with designs for use all year long.

How have you taught your children the true meaning of Thanksgiving? We would love to hear from you. Use our comment section below; it is both easy and convenient.
