thanksgiving

You're the chosen one, Thanksgiving will be at your house and besides cleaning you now have to invite, make a list, grocery shop, make sure you have enough plates, make the table festive and umpteen other things to make the day enjoyable (and one up your sister-in-law from last year)...

Thanksgiving is a time for many to hit the road to see family and friends, with an estimated 48.7 million people traveling 50 miles or more this year, according to AAA. If you'll be one of those people hitting the road for the holiday, we we took a look into our weather crystal ball to see what to expect.

Recently the Mall of America bucked the recent retail trend of being open on Thanksgiving by announcing that they would not be open.  However, they did say that individual stores could decide whether they wanted to be open or not on the holiday.  Skeptics figured the announcement was made to generate good publicity, but that most stores would be open.  The skeptics were wrong.

I like eating it, I like talking about it, and I like it, I'm talking about FOOD!!! My favorite food holiday is Thanksgiving. My favorite food at Thanksgiving? Stuffing, my Mom's bread stuffing. Sometimes I just make a pan for myself. I am also a Turkey man. I know some people like ham, but more and more I am seeing turducken featured at the grocery store.

It's never too early to get ready for Thanksgiving.

Everyone regardless of age is invited to enjoy making memories with fun activities thanks to the City of Duluth Parks and Recreation department.  The Gobbler Glide at the Duluth Heritage Sports Center will have free skating, making holiday cards for military and even frozen turkey bowling!

Remember when Black Friday was a true shopping event?  Then retailers started opening on Thanksgiving, forcing employees to work and ruining many Black Friday traditions.  Today, the Mall Of America made a big announcement that could impact what other retailers decide to do on the holiday.

How long should you wait until you get thirds? Should you tell Uncle Walter his teeth fell into the cranberry sauce? How do you find the words to describe Aunt Muriel's stuffing without offending her? Good questions all, but none are the most pressing on Thanksgiving.

It's a favorite local tradition for many, the 26th annual Twin Ports Thanksgiving Day Buffet held at the DECC on Thanksgiving Day, November 26. The community is invited to enjoy a free turkey dinner with trimmings from 11a - 4p and the DTA is offering FREE rides to the event.

It's good news for holiday travelers.  A week ahead of Thanksgiving there are already some gas stations in Minnesota selling gas for under $2 a gallon.  Most of those are in the metro area.  Gas prices in Duluth & Superior are around 2.31 a gallon, and expected to continue to drop.

Are you someone how pays close attention to your calorie intake and makes sure to exercise on on regular basis?  I'm like that most of the time too, but I think everyone deserves to let loose on Thanksgiving.  Eat away, drink what you love, and loosen the belt as you fall asleep on the couch watching football!  Besides, there are several easy ways you can burn off those calories throughout the day

It's no secret that the heart and soul of Thanksgiving is food. While those amazing comfort foods of Thanksgiving are mighty tasty, they're also not the healthiest. With the massive amount of calories being eaten in just one sitting, how long would you have to exercise to burn off that meal?
