The Tablecloth

Annie's family has a Thanksgiving tradition. Whom ever is present for the Thanksgiving feast signs the tablecloth following the meal. Annie's mom then embroiders over the signature so it will be everlasting. Each year is color coded to the corresponding date, the attendance history of Thanksgiving to forever be preserved.

Before a child can write her own name her hand print is traced and name put within.

With the passing down of the tablecloth will also have to come the passing of the art of embroidery.

That is one of the coolest things I've ever heard.
