MEANINGS: 
 

BUGLES:  Each is shaped as a Cornucopia or Horn of Plenty to remind us of our ancestors and our heritage and that our lives are filled with blessings.

PRETZELS:  They represent our arms folded in prayer to give thanks.

CANDY CORN: A lesson on Frugality. During the first winter, the pilgrims were each allotted only 5 kernels of corn per day because the food was so scarce.  They next year was a bounty as ours can be.

DRIED FRUIT:  Thanksgiving in the celebration of the harvest from the field and trees.  Preserve harvest for times of need and share.

NUTS & SEEDS:  Seeds represent future hope and promise, the potential of a bounteous harvest for the next season if they are planted and well tended.

CARMEL CORN:  the sweetness that life can bring if we only look for and create it.  Popped corn:  "out of small things proceedeth that which is great".

SNACK MIX:  Represents the variety of personalities and many good friends like you!
