Thanksgiving Family Tradition

I thought I would share one of the Horton Family Thanksgiving traditions. Back in 1985, my oldest sister came up with an idea of a way to remember who were with us each Thanksgiving dinner. So she bought a nice tablecloth that would fit our mom's and Dad's table. And from that point on, the table is set with the cloth and after dinner, everyone that is present, signs the cloth. At the end of the tablecloth, there are years the are color coded, with the first being 1985 embroidered in pink. All signatures for that year are embroidered in pink. Every year since represents a different color. So when we sit down at Thanksgiving we reminisce of the loved we have lost and babies that were born and Who was present. This year there were 22 names added to the cloth.Attachment 74110

That's neat! Looks like y'all will need another cloth before too many more years.

Now that's kool. There's several that I remember sharing Thanksgiving with years ago that are no longer with the family, and lots more today that werent born back that many years ago too. Even lost another one this past year. Woulda loved having something like that started back in '85. Thanks for the ideas.
