Black Friday

There's no holding it back now...

It's one of the reasons I insist on no Christmas until

after Thanksgiving...

I realize I have written a list of what I despise about Christmas

But what I really despise about Christmas is what

society has done to it...

Christmas itself is beautiful

the chaos that comes with it

is not...

It's 7:24 am on "Black Friday"

and I'm sitting at home in my

PJs

So, clearly I've missed the boat...

Any shred of tradition that was holding the tidal wave

known as Christmas back

is now removed with the official passing of

Thanksgiving

The chaos has begun...

As I understand it,

There were stores which opened at 3AM

3AM people?!?!?!?!

I'm here to tell you...

I wouldn't know a great deal at 3AM if it jumped

up and smacked me in the face...

Since I have spent the last 20ish years in Milton Freewater

on Black Friday I have always been out of reach

of any of this after Thanksgiving craziness...

I do remember years and years ago,

prekiddos...

Jeff and I lived in Collegedale, Tn and we decided

to drive to Atlanta for "Black Friday"

We even got up early...

Haven't done it since...

But today I am going to venture in...

I will be picking my Mom up at the civilized hour of 9am

If the sales are gone...

If we missed some sort of AMAZING deal...

I'm OK with that...

I was thoroughly enjoying my bed at 3AM!

Having said that...

I still enjoy shopping...

Not, however, with thousands of other crazed bargain hunters...

So I may not stay out long...

We shall see...

Happy "Black Friday" to you..

Whatever that means.... ;)

Personally, I'm missing my

pumpkins already...
