- Thanksgiving recovery, Nov. 29-Dec. 1: If you're anything like me, you may have enjoyed a stacked plate at your Thanksgiving table, so take the weekend to recover from the overload of sugar and carbs. Whether that looks like getting out for a walk at Jemison Park or planting yourself on the couch until Monday comes, take the time to enjoy some peace and quiet or the company of your loved ones.
