Happy Thanksgiving!
Enjoy the holiday, show gratitude, and make some time for the funnies along with relaxation. If you are in need for entertainment or to de-stress while you travel (at stay at home), I highly recommend this funny episode of Garfield and Friends, one of my fave my classic cartoons!
