Detail on the Legend of the Five Kernels Placesetting for your Thanksgiving tablescape and holiday decor.
This article highlights the placesetting instructions from my blog.
It was very cold for the Pilgrims that first winter. Food was in short supply. Some days, they had only five kernels of corn. When spring came, the Pilgrims planted the remaining corn. The sun and rain helped the seeds to grow and much food was harvested in the fall. Every Thanksgiving thereafter, the Pilgrims placed five kernels of corn beside each plate to remind them of their blessings.
This Thanksgiving, let us all remember the blessings of our lives. Count the kernels, count your blessings.
