Nov 27th: "X" Marks the Spot

November 27th is a day that celebrates many wonderful treasures!  Sometimes, these gems are like the gift that keeps on giving, while others are out there taunting us to come take hold!  Make time to explore the richness that occurred on this day in history: 

• The “birth” of a wonderful American Thanksgiving tradition,
• The “birth” of an enlightening and inspiring annual institution, and
• The discovery of the greatest sunken treasure / shipwreck of all time.   

If it's a special day for you or for someone you care about, make time to learn a little more about today by listening to some fun, engaging stories.  AND, if you need some great gift ideas, we have those too (and we’ve made it easy to find them with some Amazon links down below).

If you’d like to know more about the Parade or the Prize, you can get “official” here (these links worked in late 2023 - not sure how long they will remain available):

• Find out about the upcoming Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
• Find out more about the Nobel Prize and past winners

Gift ideas for folks who celebrate November 27th for any reason:

• There are several coffee table books celebrating the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with pictures and stories
• Keeping with the book theme, there are books by folks who have won the Nobel Prize and then others by folks who did not.
• Last book suggestion, I promise!  There’s books about the San Jose that are fascinating!
• November 27th is Bavarian Cream Pie Day - but making that cream filling can be challenging.  You can save time by buying some to be delivered.
• It’s also Adopt A Turtle Day.  Maybe a real live turtle isn’t ideal, but how ‘bout turtle jewelry, turtle stuffed animals, turtle decor or some fun turtle t-shirts!

Full disclosure:  If you use these gift idea links and make a purchase, I will make a small commission.

My promise:  Every penny will be reinvested into this podcast to help it grow and flourish . . . or perhaps even to help spawn new podcasts.
