Greetings Inngoers Reader,
As we watch the calendar tip toward the winter holidays, the weather is still improbably warm in BBOnline's home territory. Still, the days are shorter and the leaves have turned and mostly fallen.
It's only two weeks 'til Thanksgiving and (brace yourselves) only 44 days until Christmas, so even if we're wearing short sleeves, we're thinking Holidays.
In this issue, we'll review Thanksgiving Specials, Christmas Specials (including some B & B Holiday Tours and Open Houses) and Winter Specials. All this and a double helping of Innkeeper Tested and Guest Approved RecipesŪ, just ahead.
On with the show!
Chris Clarke, editor
