It's not all about the turkey and stuffing in Texas.  It's usually on the table at Thanksgiving, but there are also some unique side dishes there that put us right up there with Washington's "Cottage Cheese Roast" for being a little weird.

If you're planning to burn some Thanksgiving calories by shopping, these stores will open up to you on Thursday night. Others will wait until Black Friday morning.

November is here, and after we celebrate our Veterans, we've got to start thinking about what else we're thankful for.

The Carolina Panthers' Cam Newton will play later today against the Dallas Cowboys.  But it's what Cam did behind the scenes this week that is the most memorable.  Love a positive role model, don't you?  Unless he beats the Cowboys.

I'm worn out with Black Friday emails and ads, and it's still two weeks away. Is the Black Friday madness justified?

It turns out that Wednesday afternoon is not the busiest time for Thanksgiving travel.  Any guess what it is?

Some of the cheapest gas in the country is right here in Texas.  Under two bucks a gallon is nice, but it's creeping up on us now.
