Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast. 
~William Shakespeare


 Dr. Gwenn Hello,

My apologies for sending this twice! There was a formatting issue the first time out so let's try this again....

This is truly the holiday calm before the storm! Thanksgiving is around the corner and before you know it the crazy month of winter holidays. The best aspect of Thanksgiving for me is the family focus - just a day to hang, mingle and eat without any present pressure or obligations. Ok, there may be a few football games to juggle but that comes with the territory and is what makes the holiday so fun! In fact, get everyone into the football action this year and get a game going between courses to burn off those extra calories!

Here's what's new this month:

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. 
They are consumed in twelve minutes.  Half-times take twelve minutes. 
This is not coincidence.
