Millions of workers don't get to spend Thanksgiving with their families. It's a miserable night to be on the job.

This Thanksgiving, you can make a difference in a stranger's life. All you have to do is buy a box of cookies or chocolates, swing by a business that's open, and give it away.

This small act of kindness and solidarity can make somebody feel cared about, and get them through a rough night.

It's easy and 💯% worth doing.

However, one cannot help but wonder what manner of checks and balances Zephyr Heights has that allows the tables to be turned almost instantaneously.

PS. Those are muffins.

Has anypony noticed that naming conventions for future Equestria involve much simpler names?

G4 names are usually either 3 or 4 syllables.
Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle

G5 names are usually 1 or 2.
Pipp, Zipp, Hitch, Sunny, and Izzy

Yes, Sunny is "Sunny Starscout," and Izzy is "Izzy Moonbow," but those are treated almost like last names. Nopony really calls them that.
