Ain't it the truth!
 
BLACK FRIDAY:

Because only in America, people trample others for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have!

Stay safe everyone!!

DH and I are done shopping. Wallyworld was open in our backyard and not busy. Went in got the gift cards and C-mas cards. 2 hours later the last one was in the envelope and stamped. Will be in the mail and on their way tomorrow. For the 2 youngest ones,, who wanted to sew, I sent sewing kits. Their dad knows how to sew. So when they have their time with him he will do his best. Dad's landlord has a small sewing machine (not a fw) the girls can learn from and practice. I learned that just the other day. Landlord has manual and everything. Was his mother's. Didn't know when I was up there he "fandangled" as he calls it his own kitchen curtains. But Cmas shopping done.

Too old to go out and get trampled. Never have and don't plan to ever do it. Crazy people.

I agree. I have never shopped on Black Friday and never will. I do my shopping mostly online now and I LOVE it. Comes right to my door!

I worked at the Mall for 20 years and mandatory to work on Black Friday !!!! I swore that after I retired I would NEVER again be at a MALL on Black Friday and so far I have stuck to that and it has been 12 years. Had a Big lunch for Thanksgiving now a night of football then rest. Hugs

Will be on the selling side of the counter tomorrow at the stained glass booth (not my artistry - I'm but a minion). Final weekend of the Texas Renaissance Festival. If people are going to shop. . .they might as well get unique handcrafted gifts that aren't in any mall. . .
