Well folks, it happened quickly this year – Holiday Season is already here. And how do we know this? Because I can smell pumpkin pie as I type this. Which means I’ve got to make this quick.
First off, we at MintVine would like to wish you and all your families a wonderful, safe, and cozy Thanksgiving. Secondly, we want to say Thank You.

Happy Thanksgiving!
