Markets may be volatile, but there is one commodity that’s super hot right now. That’s right. It seems like everybody’s investing in turkeys these days. Will this market trend continue through the new year? Only time will tell. Just kidding. We usually spend this column talking about the F-word…by which we mean Finance, of course.

So instead of blathering about the markets today, allow us to blather about our favorite holiday. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of this occasion. 1. Leave the stress outside of the kitchen. Cook with joy. 2. If you’re not the head chef, do your best to be helpful. 3. Never show up to somebody else’s house empty-handed.4. Amid all the gorging, squabbling, and napping, try to remember what this holiday is really about.Well yes, but also…it’s all about being thankful for what you’ve got. And in that spirit…We appreciate you. Now go have an amazing Thanksgiving holiday.
