Nov. 24: Thanksgiving Festivities

Gobble Gobble!

It’s Turkey Day!

1. Spend the day enjoying time with the family you fortunately get to see every day, or the family you unfortunately don’t see that often.

2. Scream and cheer during the three Thanksgiving Day football games. The Greenbay Packers play the Detroit Lions at 12:30 p.m., the Miami Dolphins play the Dallas Cowboys at 4:15 p.m. and the San Francisco 49ers play the Baltimore Ravens at 8:20 p.m. (but try to get those men to help out a little in the kitchen too!)

3. Stuff your face with all the turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie that you can.

4. Prepare yourself for all that wild Black Friday shopping, which at some stores begins at midnight.
