🦃 Season the day! Happy Thanksgiving! I’m taking the day off to spend time with my family. Hope you’re doing the same — or at least eating something yummy.

It wouldn’t be The Current without trivia because that’s how I casser-roll, so let’s do this. Black Friday is the biggest day of the year for which trade profession? A.) Plumbers, B.) Tree trimmers, C.) Locksmiths or D.) Mechanics? You’ll find the answer at the end.

Today, I’m keeping things short and sweet. Over the next couple of days, I’m sharing what you’ve been asking me for all month — more puns! JK. I did a ton of research to bring you the best deals on the best products! The goal is to take the dread out of checking people off your list. — Kim

Some of you will think this is weird, and others will shout, “Me, too, Kim!” I love getting my home sparkling clean after Thanksgiving. I put on some tunes and scrub every corner until the house is ready for Christmas. Here are some tools to make it easier:

🧹 I’ll keep you company while you clean! Catch up on my podcast. Bonus: You’ll get some great/bad jokes to make your loved ones groan.

Here’s a quick list of things I thought you might find helpful and fun today:

Give thanks to people who can’t take today off: Let's take a moment to appreciate health care workers, from doctors to nurses, who remain on call to care for the sick; the first responders — police officers, firefighters and EMTs — who stand ready to serve in any emergency; utility workers who ensure our lights stay on; and all our servicemen and women in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard and Space Force who protect our great nation today and every day.

In my no-nonsense, straight-talking podcast, I serve up everything tech in digestible, fun-sized pieces. New to the tech scene? Or maybe you're a pro? Doesn't matter. I’ve got you covered.

My family told me to stop telling Thanksgiving jokes, but I can’t just quit cold turkey.

The answer: A.) Plumbers. It makes sense … The holiday is centered around a huge meal, and people put some silly stuff down the drain — hot grease in the form of turkey drippings, rice and pasta that clog pipes, veggie peels, and even turkey bones. (If your mind went to the toilet, you’re not alone.)

🪠 Did you hear about the Jedi who gave up all his training to become a plumber? He went over to the dark side of the faucet. (That was so bad, it was good!)

Now, I’ll be back in your inbox tomorrow with sweet deals you cannot afford to miss. Truly, I am grateful for you. After all, you hold the tur‑key to my heart! Happy Thanksgiving, friend. I love having you as part of my life and sharing the best tech newsletter in the USA! — Kim
