The only place I go is A&E Pharmacy in Pensacola, it's our LQS. Black Friday deal this year is fabrics 2013 and older are 55% off. 2014's are 45% off. It has exclusions that are typical, basics, batiks, collegiate, ect. But at those prices, I can pick up some neutral prints for quilt backs. Yeah!

Most of my family live in northern Indiana. I go to my local grocery store down here and get VISA gift cards. They can hit the malls anytime they want with the cards. I don't worry about something that doesn't fit. It seems to fit in their wallets just fine.

My DDs and I use to go and had a great time, ending with a big breakfast at our favorite place. Lots of great memories of fun morning out with my girls. We never encountered the violence seen on tv at some stores now.

We stay home and put up the Christmas tree. My DH used to go out, he likes being in crowds (he went to Disneyland on the 4th of July. I know I should have him tested.) but now he prefers to get the tree up early. We started doing the tree on the day after because it was one day the entire family could get together and put the tree up. Now it is just the 2 of us and we are still doing it - for me to get it over with, for him to get the house decorated. He would leave Christmas up all year long if I let him. :-D

I went once--There was something that I wanted at a good price. Stood in line forever, and that item was on sale every day for the entire holiday season. My son went to Best Buy for a tv on Black Friday a few years ago (people were camped for hours, some all night). He walked in that afternoon, got the tv and was out of the store in about 10 minutes. He didn't even have to stand in line to pay for it. lol Learned my lesson. No shopping on Black Friday.

I am going with one of my daughters to GStreet Fabrics for their big sale and then meet another daughter and grandson to pick the new Christmas Village piece. That's enough for me, a new piece of fabric and memories with a couple of my daughters and grandson. Then a nap ;-)
