National Wreaths Across America (WAA) Day is a special December event dedicated to honoring the brave men and women who have served our country. On this day, volunteers place wreaths at veterans’ cemeteries across the nation to remember their sacrifices and show gratitude for their service. This meaningful tradition has grown over the years. In 2008, wreath-laying events took place in every U.S. state, including overseas cemeteries. Later that year, Congress officially recognized Wreaths Across America Day. The Symbolism of the Wreath Each wreath carries a message of remembrance and respect:
• Evergreens represent enduring strength and the lasting impact of veterans’ service.
• The red bow symbolizes the courage and sacrifice of those who served.
• The natural scent of the wreath reminds us of simplicity, purity, and peace.
• The circular shape reflects the eternal memory of those we honor.
How Families Can Participate
• Join a local wreath-laying ceremony and bring children to help honor veterans.
• Start a fundraising group or sponsor a wreath in honor of a loved one.
• Make it a holiday tradition: share stories about veterans in your family while placing wreaths together.
This year, National Wreaths Across America Day will be observed on Saturday, December 13. It’s a simple yet powerful way to create lasting memories while honoring those who gave so much.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to bring warmth, creativity, and connection to our residents and community. Crafting together not only brightens the space but also encourages residents to share stories, memories, and laughter. Getting together for Thanksgiving is a cherished tradition that strengthens family bonds and creates lasting memories. Engaging in seasonal hands-on crafts offers a wonderful opportunity for everyone to connect, share stories, and express their creativity. So play some soft Thanksgiving or autumn themed music, encourage some story telling and let’s take photos of the finished crafts and share them on a ‘Thankful Memories’ Board or online for all to enjoy.
Here are some easy Thanksgiving crafts and projects that families can enjoy together over the holidays:

Handprint Turkeys: Have grandchildren place their hands in non-toxic paint and press them onto paper, then add details like googly eyes, legs and feathers using paint, markers or crayons.

Gratitude Jars: Decorate small jars with paint, markers, or stickers. Each person can write down things they are thankful for on slips of paper and place them in the jar.
These can be read together atter Thanksgiving dinner.

Thankful Tree: Cut out a tree trunk and branches from brown construction paper and tape it to a wall. Have family members cut out colorful leaves and write what they're thankful for on each leaf. Attach the leaves to the tree with tape.

Fall Leaf Art: Collect colorful autumn leaves and use them to create collages or rubbings.
Place a leaf under a piece of paper and rub a crayon over it to create an impression.

Thanksgiving Wreaths: Use paper plates as a base for a wreath. Cut out the center and decorate the outer edge with glued on fall-themed items like leaves, acorns, and dried corn.
Or simply cut out leaves and berry shapes from colorful paper and tape or glue them on.
Crafting together turns Thanksgiving into a celebration of creativity, gratitude, and community spirit.
