    Our family draws names from a hat, so you can concentrate on wowing that one person. I have my son this year and am making him a quilt. Oh! And for some reason, he asked for a loofah. So, as a joke, everyone is going to find him the funniest loofah they can and give it to him. So instead of showering with a loofah, he is going to be showered with loofahs. Can't wait to see how he reacts! LOL
    Would love to see a picture of your son with all his loofahs.

    Only if I find a great deal. I never went until 3 years ago . It was quite a bit of fun and people were very friendly serving hot chocolate and lending a blanket while waiting for the store to open. I don't think I will go this year as there hasn't been anything that I've seen so far that I need or want. Instead have been shopping on line. This may all change once I review the flyers this Sunday! Lol

    There are no sales fantastic enough to lure me out of the house on Black Friday. I did the BF thing once some 20 years ago and that was enough for a lifetime.

    DH and I usually take a car ride by the malls to see just how busy/empty they are. DD has to be at work at 4:00 am on BF. Her store opens at 8:00 pm on Thanksgiving! Aren't there any holidays anymore?

    I'm not going out on Blk Friday - got plenty of time after to get shopping in at good sale price. And definitely am not going shopping on Thanksgiving day.

    Yes I am going OUT!!!! When I was younger I went out at 3:30 am. Hot coffee in hand and power bars. But this year I will be in New York seeing the sights. I hope to get to a quilt shop. Don't know what's available but we are living our dreams.

The store wasn't terribly full, but it took forever to process people. They told me today that things would be better this year. I hope so.
    I just got a flier in the mail w/ 70% off anti-pill fleece. End price being $2.99 to $3.89 a yd. The sale is for Saturday Nov. 30th.

    By the time I get through cooking the Wednesday night before and Thanksgiving Day, I'm ready for a real rest, which would not include shopping on BF. People just seem to lose their common sense and courtesy on BF! No way! LOL
