Black Friday *shivers* My least favorite day of the year. Because I work in retail, the day after Thanksgiving (even Thanksgiving itself) I have to be in work. This year I was told I need to work from 7pm Thanksgiving Day to 7am on Black Friday. Whatever happened to holidays being spent with family? :rolleyes:
Since my Mom passed away it's only Mike and me now. For Thanksgiving we have an oven stuffer roaster and our favorite trimmings then after dinner we'll catch a movie on Demand. On Friday we sleep till we wake up (unless Mike has to work), pick at the leftovers as we feel like it, pretty much just hang out. I'll start looking through the gazillion catalogues that have already arrived to see how many Christmas presents I can order making a mall trip unnecessary.
A friend told me that she and her sister are using a possible late-night trip to the mall on Thanksgiving night as an excuse to step away from a very dysfunctional family member. When the dinner dishes are done and everything is put away, she and her sister will visit with their family for awhile - but when things start to go awry, as she expects will happen, they're going to put on their coats and scoot.
Haven't decided yet. Might shop.
