Tampa, FL (PRWEB) August 30, 2013
Thanksgiving family traditions have the potential to bond generations nurturing love and creating lasting memories. The short recess from mandatory tasks and complicated schedules is an opportunity to bridge generational gaps but to maximize its value takes planning.
Traditionally, it is a time to enjoy a meal surrounded by loved ones, and maybe stroll through the woods or along a boardwalk. It is the season to sip hot cider and taste luscious gingerbread. But is that all?
According to Nancy Nelson-Duac, Curator of the Good Stuff for the popular travel planning website, “It is not too early to make a plan and create new family traditions, after all for children anticipation is a big part of the experience.”
She goes on to say, “With a little planning, Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to share quality time together creating family memories. It is all about blending the good stuff.”
Thanksgiving provides the chance to slow down and find time to give thanks for what is good and worthwhile. The ideas featured include traditional iconic locations and simple celebrations as well as quirky options ideal for a family gathering.
