Thanksgiving came early for the Childress family of Monroe.Every November for the past decade or so, Anna and Jason would pack up and head to Tennessee to spend the holiday with Mr. Childress' grandparents. Gas prices are a so high that even truckers are complaining how to reach their clients in time. Soaring gas prices have changed vacation plans for scores of people around the region.

To celebrate Thanksgiving Day and in the process to save money. My advice is just send some Thanksgiving Cards to your family, friends, and love ones. It is pretty clever move to send cards and celebrate it with a web cam on line. How about Unique Christmas Cards, anyone?
