Merry Christmas

Here it is December 1st already. Thanksgiving came late making for a short shopping time before Christmas. The families are growing so big that it is almost impossible to get them all together any more. That's not all bad because I can attend more than one Christmas dinner. Black Friday shopping is over and guess it wasn't as good as the merchants thought it would be. Now it is Cyber Monday and they are hoping it will make up for less spending on Black Friday. It is a good day to stay in and shop on the computer as it is only 9 degrees with a bitter NW wind and the wind chill is below -20. You can freeze your face in minutes in this cold. I am very happy to stay in the nice warm house and watch TV and snack, haha.

Black Friday

Everyone loves Black Friday.  I take that back.  There are lots of people who don't like Black Friday.  I am one of them.  I can see no point in going out at 3 in the morning in the freezing cold and waiting hours to stand in line and try to get something that is really a bargain.  If I needed it that bad, I would have bought it a long time ago.  I can't see fighting for a parking place either, a half mile from the entrance to the store.  I think the best shopping is done starting in January, picking up things along the way till November and then stay away from the big stores, all the traffic, and fighting over items that are marked way down but there are never enough of them for everyone.  So I am sitting here in my warm house, with a hot cup of coffee and a chocolate chip cookie and enjoying every minute of it while others are out again today in freezing 19 degree weather shopping.

29 More Days Till Christmas

Do you have your Christmas list made out? Are you going out early for Black Friday and freeze various parts of your body waiting for the stores to open? Not me. I will be snuggled in my nice warm bed in my nice warm house thinking of you. There isn't anything out there that is worth doing that. Standing in mile long lines for hours and then having the last one sold right under your nose. Happy Shopping everyone.
