For Thanksgiving, we have cornucopias (or horns of plenty):
The cornucopia is a symbol of food and abundance dating back to the 5th century BC, also referred to as the food of worship and holyness, Horn of Amalthea, and harvest coneBut there are varied types of abundance going on here!

Didn't know the cornucopia went back that far in history...very interesting.
The mosaic is gorgeous and I really like the cornucopia of books in the last one.
I have a small cornucopia from my mother-in-law, bring it out each Thanksgiving. There is a wealth around us if only we look. Happy Thanksgiving, Tabatha. I'm thankful for you and your always bringing me something new to know and ponder.
