How to Make the Santa Sleigh Party Favors
You’ll need:

  • 1 box graham crackers
  • 1 can vanilla icing
  • 2 candy canes per guest
  • 1 package of mini square-shaped cookies
  • 1 package of coconut
  • 6 sheets of green construction paper
  • 1 red pen
  • An assortment of food colors (including red)

Directions:

  • Separate icing equally into two bowls. Tint one bowl of icing red.
  • Coat a graham cracker with vanilla icing and sprinkle it with coconut to look like snow.
  • Position two candy canes in the icing, with the curved front part facing up. (These are the sleigh runners.)
  • Take a second graham cracker and break off one section to make it shorter than the first.
  • Frost the second graham cracker with red icing and place it in the curved part of the candy canes. Make sure the rest of the second graham cracker rests on top of the white icing underneath.
  • Anchor the Santa cookie to tshape cookies with different colors of icing and arrange them around the Santa cookie to makehe top of the sled with vanilla icing.
  • Decorate the mini square- packages.
  • Cut stockings out of green construction paper. Write each guest’s name on a stocking with a red pen. Tuck a stocking under each sleigh, making sure the name is visible, to complete the place card.

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.


Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.


Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.


It’s easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
