To all our readers, Happy Thanksgiving!
I will be participating in two Thanksgiving meals this year. Today with my side of the family and tomorrow with my wife’s side of the family. We did two Thanksgivings a couple years ago and it can be a bit tiring. it’s hard to complain, though, when all you have to do is show up and someone else is hosting. It’ll be fun to see all the relatives that you see only at holidays
I’m excited (and blessed) to have a four-day weekend. I realize that many people do not have time off for Thanksgiving and many will be working today, tomorrow, and throughout the weekend. If you do have to work, I hope you still find some time to relax.
We’ll be taking the day off from our regular blog work today, but it doesn’t mean we will skimp on our Friday posts. Tomorrow we will have THREE posts:
- Giveaway Roundup Post – We’ll have our regular Friday giveaway roundup post including all the giveaways ending tomorrow (11/29) through next Thursday (12/5).
- A new cash giveaway – We will be announcing a new cash giveaway that starts tomorrow. This is in addition to our $1,100 Cash Giveaway that ends on December 15th.
- Weekly Roundup Post – Our regular weekly roundup post will be up with a roundup of our posts from the week, posts that we enjoyed throughout the web, and some personal thoughts and updates.
If you’re looking to get some reading in today, here are some popular posts from the archives:
- Black Friday Haul – Last year I participated in Black Friday. I documented what I bought and whether it was worth it or not in this post.

Happy Thanksgiving DC! Enjoy your two Thanksgiving meals! We are actually having Thanksgiving on Saturday because that’s when family can get here. So today I am catching up on blogging stuff and nursing a cold! Have a great day!
colormefrugal That sounds like a relaxing Thanksgiving today (minus the cold)! I am a big fan of switching the day you celebrate holidays to accommodate family members. I hope your cold goes away!
Hope you and Victoria have a great holiday!!
BudgetBlonde Thanks Cat! I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving as well!
David, you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving – enjoy both of those meals. :-)
Laurie TheFrugalFarmer Thanks Laurie! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I typically celebrate with family, but this year I’m on vacation in California with the boyfriend. Though I think everything is probably closed today.
brokeandbeau I thought everything is open today?!? Just kidding :P But I hope you have a great holiday with your boyfriend!
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m alone for the holiday. I volunteered at the animal shelter this morning, going to try cooking a little later and watching the Packer game soon!
debtperception Ah you’re a Packer fan?!? I suppose we can still get along : ) I’m a big Vikings fan! Good for you for volunteering at the animal shelter, we love to visit the animals there (wife really wants to get a dog!). Hope you have a great day!
DC @ Young Adult Money debtperception Yep, still a Packer fan, even after today’s game. :)
debtperception DC @ Young Adult Money I’ve been a Vikings fans for years despite some of the pathetic seasons they’ve had.
Happy Thanksgiving! We killed a hen for the occasion, the turkey is too nice to kill!
RFIndependence Good call – let that turkey live!
Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving DC! I don’t have any traditions. I went over to a friend’s family’s house.
We doubled up on the Thanksgiving meals ourselves, and we started a new tradition in my house.. The annual family ping pong tournament!! It was a blast, but I didn’t win :)
I had two thanksgiving dinners in one night! So tiring, but definitely fun!
