This Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for you — the gravy to my mashed potatoes, the pumpkin spice in my latte! Thank you for your friendship and trust. May your turkey be juicy, your stuffing savory, and your conversations free of politics (at least for a few hours). Here's to laughter, love, and leftovers!
We’re taking a break from blogging until Black Friday, so we’re sending our early gratitude for your friendship and trust in us. We’ve had a wonderful year, and it’s not over yet. Thank you for letting us join you on your real estate journey!
According to an annual survey from the National Retail Federation, 200.4 million people did some shopping from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday. That’s nearly 4 million more than last year and 18 million more than expected. Most of the increase was among online shoppers, who totaled 134.2 million. But Small Business Saturday drew a majority of retail activity ($59M) to brick-and-mortar stores. Get more numbers from the NRF report.
As we spend a long weekend giving thanks for the many blessings in our lives, we're particularly grateful to count you among our friends and extended family. Have a relaxing Friday, and enjoy your Thanksgiving leftovers!
With the short holiday work week, today is like Thursday, so we’re giving early thanks to the most important people in our world: our clients. Thank you for sharing your real estate journeys with us!
Did you know the first Thanksgiving lasted for three days? Imagine three straight days of Thanksgiving dinners, leftovers, and heartburn! Now imagine what it would be like to have no Thanksgiving dinner at all. Together, we can help all of our friends and neighbors have a happier holiday season by making a donation to a local food bank or volunteering in a community kitchen.
Did you know that Thanksgiving is commonly considered the origin of the “TV Dinner”? According to legend, the Swanson company had a bunch of frozen turkeys leftover from Turkey Day in 1953, so they packaged them up with veggies and sold them as individual meals. Of course, that’s not what really happened, according to the Smithsonian. But the truth isn’t as fun.
