Please step in the din with dangerous deed. Well, before
we load up on Thanksgiving sides, let's load up on
some Thanksgiving facts, including how much hosting really costs. The
American Farm Bureau said it should cost about fifty eight
dollars a year, but a polef on the average host
spends about one hundred and seventy which still might be low.
Another pole found with food, drinks, and decor three hundred

(00:21):
and sixty one dollars per person. Forty two percent of
us will lean on restaurants for Thanksgiving this year. It
includes people who are going out to eat and also
people who order one or two things to supplement their meal.
About one in five people plan to attend a friends
giving this year, and helping out in the kitchen might
help you get lucky. If poll found seventy five percent
of people think it's more attractive when you cook. Six

(00:42):

this year. White meat or dark meat. Fifty four percent
said white, thirty one percent said dark, and fifteen percent
they like them equally. How much gravy? Fifteen percent said
don't use any, seventeen percent drown your food. Everybody else

friends got any Thanksgiving disaster stories? People at BuzzFeed have
been sharing the best ones. Most it's about burning stuff.
One woman drank too much, one forgot to make sides,
one passed out, one burnt the turkey, and one only
served mashed potatoes. I'll never forget the one Thanksgiving I

(01:45):
looked around. I said, where's this stuffing? I felt bad
for my wife. She looked at me in horror. Oh
my god, the stuffing cheaper in the well. Black Friday's
here are this coming Friday? And if you've been waiting
for your holiday shopping, You're not alone. A poll ask
people will kind of a holiday shopper, are you? And

very close. Here's what people said. Forty percent of people
said they're bargain hunters. They prioritize deals and promos like
Black Friday, twenty seven percent. Early birds, they define are
the people who finish their shopping at least a month
in advance. Sixteen percent last minute shoppers, people who buy
most gifts in the last few days, and sixteen percent
said year round gatherers people who spread it out and
