Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for. First of all, my family: from my great-, great-, great-grandparents to my kids and everyone in between. I’m so fortunate to have had incredible loving parents and now an amazing wife and two ridiculously adorable kids. 

I’m also so thankful for you because without you subscribing to this newsletter, reading our content, supporting our sponsors and using our affiliate links when you shop at Amazon and other sites, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. So thank you!
 
It's especially meaningful because when the pandemic began, I lost 95% of my income within two months. It was scary and after a year went by, with two little kids, and things hadn't improved, things got even scarier. I was reluctant to ask for reader support but I was desperate, so I did. Your outpouring of support really touched my heart. And the best part was the kind notes. I can't thank you enough. 

You will be happy to know that October was JohnnyJet.com's best month ever as we had over six million page views between JohnnyJet.com and our content partnership with MSN. It was such a relief and I pray it continues because in this business, you just never know how long things will last. So thank you again for trusting me and I hope you have a safe, healthy and happy Thanksgiving. ~ Johnny
