I can just about tell you when Thanksgiving became my favorite holiday.
Most of my nephews were about seven or eight years old and I was in high school. My family’s Thanksgiving tradition had transitioned from dinner at my grandmother’s house to my mom’s to its current location, my sister Jane’s house.
Well it’s official. Thanksgiving is here.
But doesn’t it seem like we just celebrated Thanksgiving? This year is really flying by!
I’m not complaining though because I love Thanksgiving. Eating is something I’m pretty good at so of course, Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year.
But there are a lot of other reasons I like Thanksgiving.
It’s no secret that our economy is still suffering.
Now more than ever just about every business is feeling the pinch, having to watch their bottom lines closer than ever.
Many business owners are constantly seeking creative ways to increase revenue and decrease expenses –- many already running on shoestring budgets.
