I hope you are all enjoying a nice Thanksgiving. No anxiety and plenty of good food and family togetherness. Enjoy!
I wanted to share some Thanksgiving stats with you:
* The day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for plumbers.
* About 11% of Americans order out on Thanksgiving.
* Over 46 million turkeys are consumed and 50 million pumpkin pies. (I wonder how much whipped cream is used)
* The average size of family gatherings is 9.
* Butterball gets over 100,000 calls with questions on this day. (I got tired of typing Thanksgiving)
* On average hosts spend about $431 for the dinner. (That's about half our monthly groceries expenditure)
* Hosts spent about 9.6 hours preparing the feast.
* In 1953 Swanson developed the famous turkey dinner and it sold for .98 cents.
* The first Thanksgiving actually lasts for 3 days.
* The Sunday after is the busiest day in U.S. airports.
Well, there you have it. Hope you are having a nice day.

Sounds like a lot of people don't know their way around a turkey.
