This year, Thanksgiving is different than we are used to. Some families are keeping it small, some are staying home, and some are gathering to share gratitude as they do every other year.

However you are celebrating this Thanksgiving, I hope you and your loved ones remain safe and healthy and enjoy your holiday.

Here are a few fun things in this month's Two Cents Monthly...

• Mortgage Corner - getting a "bigger" mortgage
• Turkey carving tips
• Football, including the history of Thanksgiving games
• Instagram worthy kitchen trends
• Thanksgiving trivia
• Quick preparation Thanksgiving recipes
  

Let me end today with an old Thanksgiving proverb...

"May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!"

MORTGAGE CORNER

Can you now get a "bigger" mortgage?

The Federal Housing Finance Agency announced new increased loan limits for conforming loans for 2021. What this means is that you can now qualify for a bigger conforming loan mortgage (the most popular mortgage program, for loans securitized by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) rather than have to step up to a 'jumbo' loan that often comes with higher rates.

If you want to learn more about how this may help you 'buy more home' or possibly help you save money with a refinance on larger loan balances, reach out and I'd be happy to go over it with you.

FOOTBALL

Can a showdown between two 3-7 teams for the division lead be better than canned cranberry sauce?

Did you know that the first Thanksgiving Day football game was played in Philadelphia in 1869?

(spoiler: it wasn't an NFL game)

Football is almost as synonymous with Thanksgiving as turkey, stuffing and pie. It might be even more so. How did this yearly tradition come about on the fourth Thursday of each November? These folks can tell you.
