Thanksgiving Blessings Mix

2 cups Bugles
2 cups pretzels
1 cup raisins
1 cup candy corn
1 cup peanuts
1 cup M&M's
Chocolate kisses

Mix all but the kisses and put into bags. Put the kiss on top of each bag or use as a place setting at the table or make it with your kids and they can give everyone a bag when they walk into your home.

Attach this note to the bags:

Bugles - shaped like horn of plenty, a symbol of our nation's abundance.

Pretzels - arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought by those who founded our country.

Candy Corn - the sacrifices of the pilgrims first winter. Food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn.

Peanuts - promise of a future harvest, one we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.

Raisins - harvest gifts from our bountiful land.

M&M's - memories of those who came before us to lead us into a blessed future.

Hershey's Kiss - the love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.
