Merry Christmas, if Christmas is a day you celebrate. I got very lucky and my daughters came to visit me for a Christmas celebration in early December. We had a Christmas dinner, featuring the family tradition of turkey with stuffing made from hamburger buns, on Dec. 3 and opened presents on Dec. 4.
Covid-19 certainly is having an impact on this holiday season: flights canceled, schools closed, and vacation plans changed. And, supply chain issues continuing. With the omicron variant so prevalent, people need to keep being careful. Wear a mask inside and social distance when you can.
Most Americans will be celebrating Thanksgiving Thursday. Unlike last year, when covid-19 cases were high, more people will be gathering with friends and family. Last year, I ordered a duck dinner from an expensive French restaurant. I wasn’t going out much and was ordering all my groceries for pick up.

We’ve all seen the TV ads, especially late at night, when the rates are cheaper. A guy says he can solve consumers’ timeshare problems and get them out of their contacts. If the exit company can’t get the contract canceled, he says, no worries, his company offers a money-back guarantee.
Many people see Labor Day as the last change to enjoy summer fun. About 64 percent of Americans are barbecuing today, and 37 percent of Americans are taking a trip by car, according to a survey by WalletHub, a personal finance website.
This Labor Day, I’m sticking pretty close to home. With the delta variant surging, it makes the most sense to me. However, I see on Facebook that people are traveling a lot in their state and throughout the United States. Some are even going to Europe.
What are your plans for Labor Day this year? Americans are more confident about celebrating Labor Day in 2021, with 48 percent more people planning to travel and 24 percent more planning to go shopping, according to a survey conducted for WalletHub, a personal finance website.
