Thanksgiving & Black Friday '11

One more week before t-day and I'm so excited. I love to eat thanksgiving foods. The only thing I really miss about eating dinner with my family is watching football and picking a fight with my brother. Oh, and the huge family poker games we used to play, way to teach the children how to gamble at the ripe ages of 7. Then I get to go watch the mad dash as people shop for their loved ones as cheaply as possible. Nothing says I love you kids than half price. We have turned into a spectator sport, but it's more controlled chaos now days then the trampling episodes of the past. Oh well, organized is still fun to watch. You can see in people's faces the excitement of finding the good deals slowly dissipate as the morning drags on. After the 11th store, they are absolutely exhausted and cranky. No more smiles on their faces as they push and pull their loaded carts around a very crowded store. When they are still bargain hunting, we are back home warm and sleeping until 1pm. Will I ever shop black Friday again, NOPE. I just like to watch lol.
