greenini, thanks for article! Haven't read it yet but will! Just today, after being in 2 stores with my grandson, I felt this overwhelming urge to run home and hid under the covers. We were only gone 2 hours and I came home exhausted and there wasn't even any crowds in the stores!! Traveling out of town by myself tomorrow and will be in car 3 hours and will be almost unable to walk Friday morning. (Don't intend to do Black Friday! UGH) Seems like time just flew this year and the holidays are HERE!! One thing about them getting here so fast is that they will be gone fast, too, so I'll look on the positive side.
