What Does Giving Tuesday Mean to You?
Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the United States. It is a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. This year, Thanksgiving was on Nov. 28. The day after Thanksgiving, we experience Black Friday, which is noted for being the first day of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Then we have Small Business Saturday, which encourages folks to support small businesses as they shop for the holidays.
