This is an excellent idea that will help bring the 'spirit' of Thanksgiving to your house all month long (or however long you would like).
The idea is to put a picture of a turkey up on a wall in your home. We put ours on the front door, so the boys would be reminded of it often.
You could draw your own, or just print one from the internet.
We colored our printed turkey, then we cut out several feathers, in coordinating colors.
Once a day, we would talk about things that we are grateful for. We would then pick one blessing, and write it down on a feather.
We started at the beginning of the month, and had Cannon do one feather per day, but this could easily be done in a single day or over any amount of time.
This would also be a good Thanksgiving Day activity; especially if you were having a large group of people. Everyone could have a feather and write down something that they were thankful for.
I think this is going to turn into an annual tradition at our house. I am really enjoying it so far!
