Holiday Greeting – Thanksgiving is Almost Here!

Thanksgiving is America’s second favorite holiday,¹ and it offers something for everyone. You can enjoy family togetherness, feasting, football, school plays, parades, gratitude, and, of course, shopping. If you’re a traditionalist, you serve a classic meal with oven-roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and pie. According to a Huffington Post poll, pumpkin pie is America’s favorite although apple, pecan, and other flavors have fans, too.²

But, not everyone shares the same Thanksgiving dinner preferences.² Younger generations prefer ham to turkey, reports Yahoo.com, and Millennials tend to leave cranberry sauce at the store.¹ Tastes vary regionally, too. A poll from Fivethirtyeight.com found folks in the:³

• East prefer squash, cauliflower, and pumpkin and apple pie.
• Southeast prefer mac and cheese, canned cranberry sauce, sweet potato pie, and pumpkin and pecan pie.
• Mid-South prefer cornbread, sweet potato pie, and pumpkin and pecan pie.
• Midwest prefer green beans, green bean casserole, and pumpkin and cherry pie.
• West prefer salad, and pumpkin and cherry pie.

In some ways, your financial plan is a lot like your family’s Thanksgiving meal. It should reflect your preferences and lifestyle, as well as include a diverse menu. We’re grateful you have chosen to work with us, and we wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving!
