Im not going to try to fight the traffic and crowds after Thanksgiving. I must confess, when my daughter was little I shopped on Black Friday!
Am in the same boat with you, Happinow! I shop all year long! Shopping was done by Columbus Day! Nothing more to do than box and ship! But I do remember the days when black friday shopping was a necessity because of the need to make ends meet and try to be as thoughtful in gift-giving and shopping for that family Christmas dinner as possible. Those days of living paycheck-to-paycheck are probably what helped get me and hubs where we are and what we have today!
