Happy New Year from all of us at Farmers. On New Year’s Eve, will you be hitting the town or counting down from the couch?

It’s National Cookie Day, which begs the questions: thin and crispy or soft and chewy?

Mom and pops. Corner stores. Twee boutiques. Small businesses like yours and mine make our communities hum. Today’s the day to celebrate — and shop — local. It’s Small Business Saturday.

A recent survey declared stuffing the best-loved Turkey Day side, followed by macaroni and cheese and green bean casserole. What’s on your menu today?

Grateful to all who served and honored to serve our local veterans.

Whether you love or loathe it, tonight ( or, technically, 2:00 a.m. EST) marks the end of daylight saving time — and a return to standard time. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour — unless you live in Hawaii or Arizona, which stay on standard time all year.

Daylight saving time ends Nov. 3 at 2:00 a.m. Unless you live in Arizona or Hawaii, remember to set your clock back one hour.

Happy Halloween! Keep an eyeout for ghosts, pirates and princessesroaming the streets, and please drivewith a little extra caution.

Sorry, pups. Today, we’re all cat people. Toe beans, swishy tail, nighttime shenanigans and all — we love ’em. Happy National Cat Day! Ask me about pet insurance if you’re curious.

Happy National Chocolate Day! Are you Team Milk or Team Dark — or any chocolate, all the time?

Happy National Coffee Day! Did you know Americans drink 440 million cups a day — enough to fill four Olympic-sized pools. How many of those cups are yours?

Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer (sigh), but the holiday stems from the late 19th-century labor union movement and its efforts to honor American workers.
