Top Tweets of the Week Nov. 24-30

By Meredith Hirt February 6, 2015

Welcome to December! Who else had a white Thanksgiving last week? You could have fooled me into thinking it was Christmas when I looked out the window in the morning from my brother's house in Ohio where my family spent the holiday. I was thankful I didn't have to shovel the driveway! Judging from your tweets, you all had wonderful Thanksgivings.

Visiting the mall during the holidays IS brave—anyone have a crazy Black Friday experience?

What a fun holiday tradition.

Me to 9yo: Why do we celebrate #Thanksgiving? 9yo: Well, when the pilgrims came on the Cauliflower…Mom, what’s so funny? — Jennifer (@pinkmenotmom) November 27, 2014

Best. Mix-up. Ever. Just because Thanksgiving is over doesn't mean you have to stop being thankful. Check out all the neat volunteer opportunities in your area to contribute to your community year-round. Check off some items on your shopping list by purchasing gifts that give back. And while it's tempting to spoil your children rotten over the holidays, make sure to teach kids to be grateful and keep the charitable feeling going all year!
