For the past 5 years, we've asked readers of all ages, “What are you thankful for this year?”

We've received notes with messages, poems, drawings, photos. Even a video clip or two. Some of the most thoughtful replies have come from youngsters from preschool through high school.

So we're asking again this year - what are you thankful for?

Send entries in an email to waterburyroundabout@gmail.com with the word THANKFUL in the subject line. Be sure to include your name, your hometown, school grade if it applies.
DEADLINE: Monday, Nov. 24.

We will collect them into a single post and publish it Thanksgiving week.
