If you're heading out on the highway this Thanksgiving weekend, you can expect a lot of company, as over 3 million Texans are expected to on the road.

Millions of people will travel over the next few days, and that can only mean one thing:  A lot of families awkwardly staying together under one roof.  So how long is too long to stay with your family over the holidays? In a new survey, the most popular answer was four to six nights...

Holiday travel will bring increased traffic to the American highways this Thanksgiving weekend. However, with many families still simply trying to operate day-to-day on shoestring budgets, people are expected to plan shorter trips to carve their turkeys this year as a means to save money on fuel and other expenses.

The price of Thanksgiving is going up this year, but not as much as you might think.

The price of turkey is going to be cheaper than expected this year, largely because many retailers were able to lock in the cost of the birds before the summer’s drought sent feed prices way, way up.

How about a deep fried turkey for Thanksgiving? Every year, you hear the horror stories of turkey fryer mishaps, and the usual safety messages. This year, State Farm Insurance put together a public service announcement to preach turkey frying safety. And, who better to star in that message than the king  of over-the-top acting? William Shatner, naturally!

I know in bigger cities, there's a multitude of dining establishments to choose from, lots of which are open on Thanksgiving day. But what about here in Victoria? Our research department (i.e., some bums we found in the woods behind the station), spent the better part of a day contacting local eateries to find out who's open and who's not. So we've put together a list to help you better make plans to spend Turkey Day out on the town! Here's our Top Five.
