Holidays

Nearly 2.5 million people were screened by TSA agents on Sunday alone, setting a new record for holiday travel during the pandemic.

The White House announced on Monday that its holiday theme for 2021 will be “Gifts from the Heart.”

Saturday marks Small Business Saturday — a day created to shift consumers’ attention to the stores that call their communities home.

Postal workers who recall packages and letters piled up in distribution hubs a year ago are gearing up for another holiday crush.

Balloons, floats, marching bands, clowns, and performers — and, of course, Santa Claus — once again came to the streets of Manhattan as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was no longer confined to one block or sometimes pre-taped last year.

“There are three times as many cooking fires on Thanksgiving than on any other normal day,” the Rochester Fire Department said.

NASA’s Expedition 66 crew is spending Thanksgiving aboard the International Space Station this year and will enjoy a feast, not unlike the one they would have had on Earth.

For many years, stores were open on Thanksgiving, allowing consumers to shop or run last-minute errands before the feast hits the table.

Dangerous situations resulting from frying a turkey have contributed to the holiday becoming the peak day for home cooking fires.

Millions of Americans are loading up their cars or piling onto planes, determined to reclaim Thanksgiving traditions that were put on pause last year by the pandemic.

The U.S. is in better shape approaching its second Thanksgiving of the pandemic, thanks to the vaccine.
