What’s the first thing you think of when we mention November? Most people immediately jump to the fourth Thursday which of course is Black Friday Eve (stop writing the email, yes, we know it’s Thanksgiving). But we got to thinking about what else is this month – we start off with the end of Daylight Savings Time (at least for a few more years), then go straight into Election Day, Veterans Day, the aforementioned turkey and pie day, and then follow it up with Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday.
Saying it’s a busy month is a bit of an understatement, but we’re thankful to have this opportunity to say thank you for trusting us with your home purchase and for referring us to your friends and family. We also know that sometimes with everything packed into this month, it can be difficult and a little stressful, so we’ve sought out the Barefoot Contessa - Ina Garten herself – to help provide ways to reduce the holiday hosting stress.Click here to see what she has to say.
While Thanksgiving has its origins around 1621, it wasn’t an American holiday until 1863 and that is through the persistence of Sarah Josepha Hale. She started writing letters to Presidents Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan advocating for Thanksgiving and she finally convinced President Lincoln to elevate it to a national holiday. Her more famous writing credit, of course, was “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”
