Only 26 days left til Christmas day. that is about three and a half weeks.

i had a wonderful Thanksgiving also. I got to spend it with my mom & my son which does not happen very often. we had turkey, ham, walnut & apple dressing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green been caserole, blackeyed peas, cornbread, cranberries, gravy, pumpkin pie, orange rolls, apple cake, eggnog & i am still eating turkey sandwiches.

i was watching the news about black friday & i am sure glad i bypass that day because it did not look like fun to me.

I quite enjoy Black Friday. A lot of history to it. What exactly did you see on the news?

i went on a black friday years ago & it was not too bad, except for parking. what i saw this year was people fighting & trampling each other over ridiculous things like computer games. it was like a bunch of of kids fighting over who gets a seat on the bus while the bus driver gets fed up & drives off leaving them all behind.
i just dont understand the push & shove for gadgets, & people falling down & getting trampled as if there wont be more gadgets in stock. that seems like greed to me & i dont think that is what Christmas is about.

i am sure there was a lot of good shopping experiences as far as tradition goes, but it is typical of the news to only focus on the fights & shoving & that seemed to be central to specific electronic gadgets this year. i also would not sleep over night at a store just to be there at 5 am when the door opens, only to get in the middle of that.

i went to the tractor store in the evening, looking at tractors & snowblowers instead. that was nice because most of the crowd was gone (or already smashed into the floor of the store)

so did you get trampled Paul or was it pretty good?

I don't exactly get involved with Blakc Friday. But I do like to learn about it. However, I didn't know about all of the trampling. Bet that wasn't too pretty.

So what are you doing Christmas? I'm gonna stay home and relax from school. And play lots of video games! Can't wait! Only 3 weeks until my Christmas Break!

I'm going to Kentucky to visit my brother and his family, and my buddy and his family.

I worked Thanksgiving at the hospital, so I am looking forward to this time off.

hey Juan
if you are not too far, you guys might enjoy a couple of hours at the corvette museum in bowling green. have you ever been there? it is really cool to see the history of classic american muscle all under one roof.

all the caverns through there are fun too.

but i know when i go visit my family i enjoy just being in their company & hanging out with the every day things they partake in. a cup of coffee & the kitchen table means a lot this time of year.

Christmas break from school is the best! & even better if a blizzard comes just before school starts back up because you get another week off from school!

i hope to be here off & on with everyone through the holiday but i am also taking a short trip to see my dad & brothers soon.

black friday was kind of funny because i saw a lot of unhappy faces REAL crowded around the ecletronics counter & when people fell down for some strange reason no one tried to help them back up... they just kind of laid there.

AND, i am getting about 400 orders a day in my business & the place looks like a fire hazard because there is no more room for stock, so i will be spending most of my time there trying to keep up. i hope the fire department does not come this month because i cant even get to the burned out exit sign.

Been by there a few times. This same brother used to haul car parts to the plant there. Maybe that would be a nice side trip. We went the other way last time, around through Smallville (IL) and down to Memphis and Graceland (didn't go in, too expensive, I'm not that into Elvis), and back through Opryland (wonderful this time of year!). So yeah, Bowling Green might make a nice side trip...thanks for the tip.

Hope your season is a good one!
