I hope all our American cousins had a great Thanksgiving weekend 🦃 . It is always nice to get together with family and friends over a big feast if you are lucky enough to do so. For those that didn't, we are thinking about you too  Even though I'm not down south of the 49th, I must have been personally feeling everyone's thoughts as I found myself not only undoing one, but yes two of the buttons on my 501's Thursday evening . 

Being a late Thanksgiving this year meant that I was able to get most of my Christmas shopping done on Black Friday. I have picked out an individual gift for each and everyone of you but some I might wait until Cyber Monday. Sadly, this year I won't ask for all of you to send me a present in return, to my address of Wildone, Calgary, as Canada Post is out on strike  So no need to send anything this year. We can pick it up again next year  . If your presents are a bit late, at least you now know why .

It was a cold snowy week here and it still looks like a fresh snow fall. I'm kind of enjoying it  

Now let's see what all happened this past week in the GA News Blog!

Monday, Cia was by with the CSR Discussion Day. I have to admit, the night before I was reading an interview with Timothée Chalamet, and then Talo said something almost identical and I was like   😮. But alas, nope, not the same person  Wouldn't that be cool though if someone famous, besides @Myr, was a member? Oh wait, I'm reviewing the CSR Day, ignore me :

Tuesday, the famous one , was by picking up again the weekly Deep Dives:

OH, I forgot  Tuesday, December 3rd it the date to get in your Prompt Team Event entries. To get a recap, check out Val's entry on Thursday:
