Holi get Travel

(WHTM) – As we begin the holiday week the busiest day at the airport is expected to be Wednesday. The day before Thanksgiving TSA is preparing to screen 30 million passengers throughout the holiday. On the roads, AAA is projecting nearly 50 million people to drive to their destination. That’s a 1.7% increase from last year. Paula Twidale, senior vice president of travel with AAA said, “It’s more cost-effective than traveling by air, especially if you have many family members and average prices are about $680. A person domestically for air and driving by car gas prices are now $3.36 on average per gallon.” AAA says Wednesday is expected to be the busiest day on the roads during the Thanksgiving travel period.

The holidays can be both a source of joy and stress for many, but none so much as a family with children below the age of 12. If you have young children, you’re likely not only entertaining kids during their time off while you’re working, but also buying gifts, dealing with cold and flu season, and potentially hosting others in your family.

Unlike wine, where a single magnum bottle can nearly be one-size-fits-all , when it comes to cocktails, everyone’s looking for something a little different. Case in point: This year, the Punch team will be celebrating with everything from N/A Negronis to crowd-pleasing, comforting classics to an overlooked dive bar staple. If you’re unsure what to bring to the holiday table, consider this your cheat sheet for the best recipes—low-proof to spirit-forward—to get you through the season. I’ve had enough experience watching my carefully batched cocktail sit untouched (by anyone other than myself) for being too obscure, too bitter or otherwise intimidating. That’s why this year I’ll be bottling something a little more classic— a winning Manhattan recipe made with rye , Torino-style sweet vermouth and Angostura bitters in perfect proportion, aptly described by one bartender as “a salve.” Who can say no to that? NB: This works well as a large-format freezer cocktail; just add half an oun...

Many of us are looking forward to Thanksgiving and winter holidays, but with all that togetherness comes another tradition — holiday stress. A new annual pulse check on holiday stress in America shows we’re slightly less stressed than we were in 2022 — but what we’re stressed about has changed. The poll by Sesame — a telehealth platform that connects patients with medical professionals — showed two-thirds (67%) of respondents described their holiday stress levels as moderate to extreme, down from 72% of those surveyed in 2022. What’s prompting the stress is changing. In 2023, a third of Americans (33%) are reporting an increase in stress over weight gain this holiday season, compared to 23% being troubled by COVID-related concerns. When asked who was causing the stress, 30% said their extended family members, while 16% blamed their kids. Other triggers? According to the survey, 34% rate inflation as their number one cause for stress, followed by shopping for gifts (22%) and navi...
