- BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS POEM:
- BUGLES: Shaped like a cornucopia or 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: Sacrifices of the Pilgrims' first winter. Food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn a day.
- NUTS or SEEDS: Promise of a future harvest, one we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.
- DRIED FRUITS: Harvest gifts of our bountiful land.
- M&Ms: Memories of those who came before us to guide us to a blessed future.
- HERSHEY'S KISS: The love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.
