Here are six tips for the day:
1. Maybe a big Thanksgiving lunch isn's your thing? Then perhaps you might be interested in a big breakfast that day instead. If so, consider that Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 22, from 8 to 11 a.m., the Siloam Lodge of Masons will be holding its all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet at 12 Church St. in Westborough. This annual tradition is a fundraiser for the Masonic Angel Fund.
