Thanksgiving Day Rob had to work, but L and I woke up and watched the parade! She loved it. To me, Thanksgiving isn't complete without a morning of parade watching in our pjs. We went over to Rob's family's house around one and spend the afternoon eating and chatting. Everything was perfect, except that my sweet husband had to miss it. But, he got a great dinner when he got home that night!
Now, onto Black Friday...an event in which I do not understand. I told Rob I did not think there was anything I needed to get up at 4 am to shop for (or anything I needed to stay up all night and shop for that matter), but that I felt like I was missing something...like I was missing out maybe. He told me it was the media message that tells me so and he is right. I don't get Black Friday and I don't like it either. I did go out Christmas shopping for a few hours in the afternoon of Black Friday, but that is because my sweet mother in law watched L and I needed to get some things done. But WHY O WHY does just after everyone finishes eating Thanksgiving dinner, everyone becomes completely crazy for Christmas and shopping? I mean that is absolutely nuts and unnecessary for a store to open at 10pm on Thanksgiving and stay open all night! When did this whole Black Friday thing start anyways?
for the past 4 or so years we have participated in black friday starting at midnight, it is so much fun. we dont really buy a lot during those early hours, it is just something to do with family during the holidays. We have now added my aunt and cousin!!! the group is growing!!!
