It’s the month where calories don’t matter but our November babies do!
In the midst of the holiday rush, Thanksgiving reminds to be grateful for all our blessings. In the month of giving, let’s not forget our loved ones with upcoming birthdays.
TODAY celebrates your milestones, and we asked people of all ages whose birthdays fall on November to send us photos of themselves or family members alongside what makes them great and why they’re thankful for them. Below are a few of our favorites.
Thanks to all who shared their stories!
