Oooh, lovely. We made a gratitude tree yesterday -- out of a branch found in the woods and leaves cut out of paper. The idea just occurred to me a few days ago, so we did ours together after dinner, but I love your idea of gathering our gratitude for a couple of weeks beforehand.
My boys and I used to write a gratitude journal every night before bed. I began it for myself, but my oldest (who was four at the time) of course wanted to do it, too. It became a lovely ritual for us. We wrote it in a book in bed, but I transcribed things into a blog for awhile:
Stacy, Just had a look at your Grateful blog and I love it! I love the idea of sending gratitude out to the universe. If anything, it sends such positive, hopeful, thankful healing energy out to the world. A while back I tried to keep a gratitude journal and it just did not work, but I really like the idea of doing it just before bed. Your mother's suggestion was so wise. Thank you for sharing it with the world. Peace, Nicki

Today I Am Grateful For
I love hearing their thoughts, and my oldest son especially delighted me with his persistent gratitude for the here-now.
