holidays

So I had to share this poll result with you today. Everyone knows what "Black Friday" is now, the day where many Americans scour the stores to find the really amazing deals and door stoppers for Christmas. It is also the day that most retail stores finally go into the black for the year and begin to make profit. Love it or hate it it is here to stay, but should it be a paid holiday? It s

I was definitely affected by a story we covered the other day about a task force set out to make Halloween costumes less offensive. I'm definitely on board with this.  We are not sensitive enough these days.

HOLIDAY TV schedule is out? How is it possible it’s that time of year already?

Here is something you may not have known as you were celebrating the far more important, Memorial Day, today also happens to be National Wine Day!

Christmas lights make the holiday season a little more cheerful and beautiful.

I joked around a bit with the title to this blog but the truth is , there are some ways that people actually die on Thanksgiving and all of them are totally avoidable. While I am quite confident we will all not only be fine and happy for this wonderful family holiday, it couldn't hurt to at least take a look at the biggest dangers.

I'm sure there are a lot of folks who don't want to put in the time to cook on Thanksgiving.  But then again, you want that  home cooked feel when you go out, don't you?  Any suggestions?
