Hey guys, I'm Rachel Cruz.
I'm George Camel.
And this is Smart Money Happy Hour.
Cheers, George. Cheers.
Oh, so refreshing.
I'm thankful for this week.
Let's just be thankful all around. Well, this is the show where two friends who happen to be money experts talk about what you're talking about. So everything from pop culture, current events, and money.
And today we're talking about the gift of gifts. We're leaning into the holiday cheer.
So great, because today, George, right now, if you are watching when this episode releases, it is Thanksgiving.
And we're not with our families. We're here for you. That's how much we care about you guys. And I hope you're with people that you love, doing things that you love. Maybe you're in a car. Maybe you're avoiding family.
I don't know. Yeah, maybe they're traveling. to grandmother's house down the highway this Thanksgiving.
Little Red Riding Hood?
I don't know. And you're like listening to us while the kids like are watching something in the back. Thank you. Or maybe you're up in a bedroom at your in-laws trying to just get away from the craziness and you just need a little, a little lighthearted cheer and you've turned us on. Either way, happy Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving. Do you?
I'm a fan. There's something that's a little, I don't know, it's not dramatic. It's not stressful. Christmas feels a little more stressful.
Because we're about to get into Christmas and we're going to talk about gift giving in this episode. So we have you covered. Don't you worry.
But you're not hauling like a whole bunch of gifts. You're just like bringing something to the dinner maybe.
Yeah.
Like a bottle of wine, some food.
Just a good meal. So what are we sipping on, George? We're talking about this.
Speaking of wine, this is a mocktail. It's called a Red Sansgrilla. You like the pun there? Yeah.
Sands, love it.
So there's no alcohol in this, but if you, this is a great one to make on Thanksgiving, honestly.
Yeah.
So if you need a drink tonight, you're going to get the recipe in the show notes and the rating and the cost per glass at the end of the episode. So delicious.
Okay, George, it's Thanksgiving. So what is one thing you're thankful for?
Um, recently, I think my daughter is the most recent thing I'm grateful for. And watching Whitney be the most amazing mom. I tell her all the time. She's great. I tell Mia, I'm like, you have the most amazing mom who cares about you so much. So sweet. Every decision has so much thought and, uh, Yeah, I'm grateful for them as a package. Package deal.
Yeah, package deal. My girls. Your family. Your girls. I love it. I'll be the same vein. I think family. Yeah, the kids, Winston, our like little nuclear family, extended family is great too. Love y'all.
I never heard the nuclear, I never hear it spoken like that.
Just like our little nuclear family, like our little Winston Cruises. They're precious. Yeah, but I would say that, you know, it's a big deal. It's things that you take for granted sometimes the day-to-day. That's why Thanksgiving kind of causes you to pause and be like, man.
Do you guys go around the table and do like a... We do with the Ramseys.
Yeah. Wow. And talk about what we're grateful for. That's really nice. Yeah. That's like a Sharon tradition.
And we're headed to Boston for the holidays.
Oh, yeah. To be with my family. So that'll be nice. Boston's a great place to be Thanksgiving. It's very historical. It is. Around that time.
That's how it's been said. Boston is a very historical place. It is. And it'll be a nice chilly New England fall vibe. So good. Another thing I'm grateful for, especially this year, is when people actually know how to give gifts that aren't a complete waste of money. Oh, yes. And I know that sounds ungrateful, but I just, I'm tired of just stuff for the sake of stuff.
Yep.
If you're going to do a gift, make it thoughtful, but also I don't want to have to read your mind. So we're going to help these people today, everyone listening and watching.
