This week was brought to you by turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie and people we love.

And as always, it was brought to you by some awesome advertisers that help us keep you in the loop on things interesting and important -- or just fun and delicious. Many of them are small, local businesses, like Capital Wine and Spirits on Lark Street. For Small Business Saturday they're offering 20% off of 6 bottles of wine.
