And onto the next holiday!

Saturday, November 30

Happy Thanksgiving weekend, Short List friends. We hope your holiday has been light on the traffic and heavy on the pie.

This Saturday morning, we're sipping our coffee and discussing:

•	An attack in London: Two people were killed in a terror-related stabbing attack Friday on a bridge in central London. Through the sadness, stories have emerged of heroic actions taken by members of the public during the attack.
•	Friday football: Friday's winners and losers in college football were led by Virginia and Texas.
•	Can. You. Even. Imagine.: A woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl on the jetway of Flight 868, after the plane landed in Charlotte, North Carolina from Tampa, Florida during one of the busiest travel weeks of the year.
•	Consider shopping here: Did you know that this weekend is Small Business Saturday and Museum Store Sunday? Supporting local business has never been hotter — and easier.

And now, onto the week's must-read stories ⬇️:

Deedee Cummings, right, with her son Nick Cummings, 11, at their home in Louisville, Ky. on Nov. 25, 2019. Cummings was concerned that there are not many holiday books featuring people of color so she wrote a holiday book inspired by him called "In the Nick of Time."
