Black Friday Activities!
Welcome Black Friday! For some VERY STRANGE reason, the girls were totally excited to get up early and go shopping! 😐 They left at about 4:30am by themselves. Angela stewed about this for awhile. She couldn’t sleep with them out by themselves so she got up, got dressed, and went and found them. They had a lot of fun together and it wasn’t too bad. I guess the places they went weren’t too overcrowded. The cool thing that happened is that Sarah entered into a drawing for a $100 shopping spree at one of the stores and WON!!!!! She was totally excited and spent every dime!
As for the rest of the shopping, most of it was done on-line from the comfort of our own warm house. I have sworn off going outside and shopping on Black Friday. The funny thing is that the deals you get on Black Friday aren’t as good as the deals you get if you wait until closer to Christmas! The retailers start to get nervous and start discounting things more heavily! 🙂
One of the things that really bothers me as well is that people have been starting to celebrate Christmas earlier and earlier. This year, right after Halloween, Christmas stuff starts going up! I hate that, as we really do need to celebrate Thanksgiving! We need to celebrate our blessings and what we have been given. That said, I refuse to put up even a single Christmas decoration, a single Christmas light on the house, or anything until AFTER Thanksgiving! I know it will be colder to be outside stringing lights, but I guess I’m stubborn that way! 🙂 That said, we started bringing things up and decorating our house. We didn’t get very far, so we’ll finish tomorrow! 🙂
