Not a bad idea.
Author Amy Latta came up with the idea of using a pumpkin as a place to write down things her family was grateful for seven years ago. She was just looking for a way to teach her son Noah, then 3, about Thanksgiving without getting "caught up in the craziness of the holidays."
Latta's idea caught on with other busy parents looking for low key ways to celebrate the season meaningfully with their kids and now they post their pumpkins online too.
