Links from last week: Thanksgiving edition

I haven't done as much web surfing this week but I still came up with what I think is a pretty good list of links for you to read. These pages are mostly Thanksgiving themed, with a little Christmas in there.

The table


  • I bookmarked this Babble post on DIY Christmas tree skirts for myself. I don't have a skirt for my tree, poor girl went bottomless last year, it was cold too. I just couldn't find one I really liked. This year I did find one at Hobby Lobby but it was a little pricey, maybe with 21 to choose from here, and my new sewing machine, I can make one?
  • Inflation jokes aside, here's a good read on how balloons get chosen for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I'll give you a hint: money.
  • Here's another Thanksgiving Parade related post from Mental_Floss. Did you know there used to be an agreement that stores wouldn't put out there Christmas fare until Santa arrived (at the end of the parade, that is)?
  • Before you stomp down some 80 year old woman to get the last dancing Elmo, you may want to read this return policy guide. Useful stuff there folks.
  • This one's not holiday related, but I think it's especially useful this time of year when you may be more likely to have family and friends over to your house and need to tidy up a bit. Or maybe you need to find a place in your home for new items you get for Christmas.
  • And then there's this. Don't do this people, just don't.


I hope you enjoy these links and have a great Thanksgiving. Will you be watching the parade tomorrow? Or stocking up on sleep to hit those black Friday sales?
