Just 3 percent say they’ve changed their holiday plans this
Planning To Talk Politics This Thanksgiving
For a canada goose deals very small fraction of the nation, a new HuffPost/YouGov Canada Goose Jackets survey finds, the biggest logistical challenge this Thanksgiving may be avoiding political squabbles.
