Here are some songs you can sing this week as you prepare your feast!
If You’re Thankful and You Know It
(Tune: If you’re Happy and You Know It)
If you’re thankful and you know it,
clap your hands.
If you’re thankful and you know it,
clap your hands.
If you’re thankful and you know it,
then your face will surely show it.
If you’re thankful and you know it,
clap your hands.

Thank You Song
(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Thank you for the sun so bright,

Thanks for everything I see,
Thanks for you and thanks for me.
