Small Business Saturday is coming up on Nov. 25. What started as an American Express campaign in 2010 to inspire consumers to shop locally has become an annual holiday that’s celebrated nationally.

We asked you to tell us which local small businesses you love shopping with + any deals you’re excited for, and (as usual) you didn’t disappoint. Plus, we included some of the local deals and shops we love.
  • City Editor Nicholas | Feliz Modern | 40% off its Black Friday + Cyber Monday collections; Valid for both online and in-store shopping.
  • City Editor Adriana | Voodoo Donuts + El Camino | Stop by the Portland-based doughnut company for $1 donuts through Monday, Nov. 27. Then visit the food truck park for $1 margaritas through tomorrow.
  • You all love shopping small. Check out where else you said you’ll be shopping on Nov. 25.

News Notes
Holiday
  • Happy Thanksgiving. However you celebrate, we hope you enjoy a day of rest, reflection, and community. We here at SATXtoday are thankful for our city, and the fact that there’s always plenty to talk about.
Pets
  • Deck the Paws returns to the San Antonio Botanical Garden on Sunday, Dec. 10 for a day of festive fun for our furry friends. Think: a dog costume contest, grooming, a vendor market, and on-site adoptions.
Sports
  • The holidays are for sports. With the Spurs taking on San Francisco this Friday and Denver on Sunday, you’ll want to revisit the highlights and check in with the Alamo City’s other home teams. Check out our ultimate guide to sports teams in San Antonio.
Read
  • Curl up with a good book by a local author this winter. For example, read the Romeo and Juliet-inspired “Westside Love Story” by Priscilla Oliveras or “Big Wonderful Thing,” Stephen Harrigan’s history (and prehistory) of Texas.

From the editor
It’s Thanksgiving, y’all. Every year, I make mac ‘n’ cheese for my family’s Thanksgiving meal — we usually do lunch so we can watch the Dallas Cowboys game — but this year I was able to convince my mom to let me pick up a frozen Luby’s mac ‘n’ cheese family sized dish from H-E-B.

However, I caved and ended up making a homemade pumpkin pie.
