Home to Thanksgiving!
HOME TO THANKSGIVING! by Peggy M. Baker, Director & Librarian, Pilgrim Society An exhibit sponsored by the John Carver Inn & Hearth 'n Kettle Restaurants November - December 1999 Home to Thanksgiving! The words conjure up pictures: bright and frosty New England mornings, a white- steepled church set in rolling hills, the joyous arrival of a brother or sister home from school, eager children in the back seat of the family sedan asking "Are we there yet?", grandparents opening the door of the old homestead, beaming faces of all ages around a crowded dining room table. This is Thanksgiving: images of New England, memories of family. In addition to prints and posters, essays and poetry celebrating the New England Thanksgiving and family reunions through the years, we pay tribute to New England's Lydia Maria Child: writer, editor, gifted scholar, courageous early leader of the abolitionist movement, and the author of the unofficial Thanksgiving family reunion anthem "Over the river and through the wood to grandfather's house we go." Home ...to New England! "Did you ever make one of a thanksgiving party, in that section of the globe called the land of steady habits? New England is the place of all others for these festivals. There is no genuine, legitimate thanksgiving out of New England, unless it is imported by New England's sons and daughters. The festival originated there, and there you must go if you want to see it kept in the old-fashioned style." Thanksgiving Festival in New England, The Youth's Cabinet, 1846. Home ...to the Family!

A Paragon of Family Ritual: The Zimmerman Family Reunion Abstract A case study of a family reunion ritual is showcased in this analysis. Fifty-nine members of one multigenerational family were interviewed and answered questions about their most meaningful family reunion memories. The uthora integrated the interview data, reunion observations, and family documents to answer research questions about the construction of meaningful reunion rituals, the meaning attached to ritualizing activities, and the transformation of the ritual over time. Three metaphorical phases—labeled allegro, legato, and decrescendo —describe how family members described changes in the family reunion ritual over time. The findings show that members of this multigenerational family reported alignment with the properties of family rituals theorizing – transformation, communication, and stabilization. -

HEALTHY ACTIVITY IDEAS for CLASSROOM PARTIES IDEAS
HEALTHY ACTIVITY IDEAS for CLASSROOM PARTIES Safety Precautions: Through consultation with Mrs. Lenton, our school nurse, it was decided that games or activities that include any type of food should be avoided due to the prevalence of food allergies. In addition, the homeroom parent or group leader should confirm that there are no students with latex allergies before playing any of the balloon games. Most of the ideas will work best for grades 3-5, but there are some that can be used with the younger children. I have designated with an * the ones that should be suitable for all grades. IDEAS *Coin Tossing: Use chalk to draw a line several feet from the wall. In groups of 3 or 4, students take turns standing behind the line and tossing a coin, poker chip or similar object towards the wall. The player whose coin is closest to the wall when all have been tossed is the winner. Coin Catching: Quarters probably work best for this. The first player balances one coin on her elbow, drops her hand quickly, and tries to catch the coin before it hits the ground. Each player attempts the same and those who cannot do it are eliminated. In the next round, a second coin is stacked on the first and so on… Up the Ladder: On a piece of paper, draw a ladder with 7 or more rungs. Write “Finish” above the top rung. Players take turns making 3 marks in the empty spaces between the rungs of the ladder. The first player’s mark is an X and the second player uses O. -

November 1, 2020 CORPUS CHRISTI COMMUNITY
orpus Christi Catholic Community 6001 Bob Billings Parkway C part of the Catholic Church of Northeast Kansas Lawrence, Kansas 66049V5200 785V843V6286 www.cccparish.org November 1, 2020 CORPUS CHRISTI COMMUNITY How Halloween and ALL Saints Go Together Every year, people and well meaning Christians seem to question how Halloween should be celebrated in respect to our faith. This Halloween will be quite different from the normal thanks to the pandemic. Halloween is a holiday Catholics should embrace in its original form so a little history lesson is needed. In the year 610 Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Roman Pantheon to the Blessed Virgin Mary and to all Christian martyrs and set aside a day in their honor. That date, May 13, coincided with the Lemuria festival, a pagan Roman celebration intended to satisfy the restless dead. A century later, this Day of All Saints was moved to Nov. 1. "All Hallows," "Halloween" eventually joined the stable of popular designations for the time in the Church's liturgical calendar when the Church commemorates its saints (or hallowed ones). The November date was providentially close to the feast celebrated by pagan Celts in honor of their druid "lord of the dead" the god Samhain. Bonfires would be built, gourds would be carved into lanterns and treats would be set out for the dead. Realizing the value of incorporating non-evil pagan practices into Christian faith, which was nothing new, the Church allowed Christians to continue these customs as a way for us to pass on the faith. If these non-evil customs should help us remember to set aside a time to pray for the dead. -
