5 Thanksgiving Traditions to Start This Year
While most people associate holiday traditions with Christmas, Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to create family traditions as well. Each special aspect of the holiday can take on new meaning every year as the family participates in activities that promote joy and gratitude.
1. Thanksgiving Eve Meal
Most families have special foods that they serve on Thanksgiving. But what about having a special meal each year on Thanksgiving Eve? Since most of the time people are busy with final preparations for the holiday, make it something easy. Carryout? Chinese? Pizza? Or maybe do a buffet where each member of the family requests a favorite easy finger food and this becomes the meal.
2. Yearly Thanksgiving Scrapbook
Each year, prepare a page in a scrapbook for each member of the family. Include a few pictures from the previous twelve months and leave room for each person to add their own Thanksgiving thoughts.
3. Skip Shopping and Have a Family Friday
Instead of joining the millions of other people out frantically searching for a bargain the day after Thanksgiving, stay home and make it a yearly Family Friday. Turn off the phone, the computer, and the TV. Wear comfy clothes, play games, watch a movie together, and just generally enjoy being a family. Rather than rush off from Thanksgiving, extend the holiday and spend it truly enjoying one of the things for which you are most thankful – your family. Establish a tradition of making Mexican, pizza or something else completely different from the Thanksgiving meal. (The holiday leftovers will keep until Saturday!)
4. Children's Thanksgiving Craft Corner
Set up a table or workspace where your children can do special Thanksgiving related crafts for the week or so before Thanksgiving. Make the goal to create special items that can be shared with the elderly, shut-ins, or someone who is far away from family during the holiday. Deliver the craft and a small food gift on the day before Thanksgiving.
5. Cozy Book Nook
Put all of your Thanksgiving books in a basket and place it in a cozy corner along with some comfy blankets. Spend some time each day enjoying cuddling and reading as a family.

It's a medical marvel!
Medical City is emerging not only as Orlando's fastest-growing, most innovative master-planned community encompassing 7,000 acres, but also as a "Project of Promise" featuring Nemours Children's Hospital, M.D. Anderson Orlando's Cancer Research Institute, Orlando VA Medical Center, University of Central Florida's new College of Medicine and Health Sciences campus, Burnham Institute for Medical Research's east coast campus, and a University of Florida research facility dotting the Lake Nona Gateway Interchange in the 600-acre Science & Technology Park.
Even better, Lake Nona's commitment to creating thoughtfully designed, sustainable and responsible communities via participation in the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, the national benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.
The Medical City's newest construction project stirring dust is the Orlando VA Medical Center, which broke ground Oct. 24 on 1.3 million square feet of medical care and administrative space. The $656 million high-tech medical complex on 67 acres will include a 134-bed hospital, a 118-bed community living center, a 60-bed domiciliary, an outpatient clinic and a veterans' benefits mini service center. The facility will also debut the latest in digital technology and modern amenities, including larger private rooms, family visiting areas, and personal wireless devices and Internet connections. The new venue will increase accessibility to healthcare for Central Florida's nearly 400,000 veterans.
Medical City's plans first started soon after the University of Central Florida (UCF) gained approval for the College of Medicine in 2006, planners began working to incorporate it into the school's new Health Sciences Campus, which consists of more than 2 million square feet of instructional and research space on 50 acres.
Another part of Medical City, Slated to open in 2009, the nearly 200,000-square-foot Burnett Biomedical Sciences building will play an integral role in the College of Medicine. The five-story facility will house biomedical researchers who focus on advancing the understanding of human disease and developing innovative ways to treat some of the world's most prevalent and serious health problems, including cancer, cardiovascular, infectious and neurodegenerative diseases.
Medical City's M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Orlando's Cancer Research Institute (CRI) will occupy 30,000 square feet of space on the fifth floor, paying the university $2.5 million to occupy space for up to five years while M. D. Anderson–Orlando's own independent research facility is being built in the park.
The inaugural class of 40 medical school students will begin classes this fall, with the four-year medical program eventually expected to produce 120 doctors annually. Orlando Regional Healthcare, which hosts more than 150 fourth-year medical students from across the nation, plus 36 students from the Florida State University College of Medicine, has partnered with UCF to allow medical students to participate in clinical training at Orlando Regional hospitals.
The program, which will focus on the school's existing strengths in biomedical sciences, modeling and simulation, and optics and photonics, will be supported by programs in materials science, psychology, hospitality management, chemistry, film and digital media, and nursing.
Medical City was first established on the west coast in 1976 as a non-profit medical research institute focusing on cancer research, Burnham Institute for Medical Research has grown into one of the world's most-consistently top-ranked organizations for the impact of its research publications.
The first phase of the east coast campus will include a 175,000-square-foot facility comprised of research and administrative wings. Over the next decade, the institute plans to employ more than 300 scientists and support staff focusing on diabetes, obesity, metabolism and heart disease, led by scientific director Daniel P. Kelly, MD. The University of Florida is also planning to locate a research facility to be shared with the Burnham Institute.
Medical City will also host a new Nemours Children's Hospital will finally come to fruition after a lengthy and costly Certificate of Need (CON) battle. Tucked on 60 acres, the pediatric healthcare campus will feature a new $3 million children's clinic, an ambulatory diagnostic center, extensive research and education facilities, and also a new 95-bed, 550,000-square-foot children's hospital valued at $400 million, along with a planned Ronald McDonald House.
Nemours' hospital is expected to open in 2012 and will work in collaboration with UCF's College of Medicine, Burnham Institute, and the new VA Hospital, also slated to open in 2012.
