You don't have to wait until Thanksgiving to begin your celebrations. Plan a film night. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, Garfield's Thanksgiving, or Free Birds? More grown-up fare might be Remember the Titans, Beethoven, or Silver Linings Playbook. Always check ratings for your comfort level. 



Experiment NOW with a new recipe for the upcoming holidays. Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies ... pumpkin loaf with cream cheese frosting ... or even pumpkin ice cream. Start a Google search and see what you discover!


Cooler November temperatures are the perfect time to plan that hike you've been putting off. Whether sunny or cloudy, crisp or unseasonably warm, you will have the best day ever! 


Sadly, yes, and happily, YES! It's time to shift gears into Thanksgiving and Christmas! Start collecting food items you will need for those big holiday meals, and don't forget that Christmas decor goes up in three weeks! Make your plans now for the best holidays ever!


Fall foliage is still happening in the South. Plan a scenic drive to soak it in. In the east, look at the Great Smoky Mountains and Shenandoah National Park. Out west, Napa Valley will shine. Even Arkansas and Texas offer November fall foliage. Make your plans today!
