Have you noticed how the media refers to Thanksgiving as "the day before " Black Friday? As if the actual Holiday has no value at all and the only purpose of the day is to prepare and hype up the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.
Well, I boycotted the whole business. I refuse to shop today. I refuse to get out of bed and stand in the cold (the temperature is down in the single digits) amongst a bunch of strangers to save a couple bucks. I refuse to stand in lines that zig zag across and around the store, arms laden (and aching) for over an hour to check out.
I refuse.
I choose instead to spend my day after Thanksgiving appreciating my home and children. We will eat left overs and maybe watch a couple movies. And knit.

Me too!
It's just craziness out there.
Ditto..I'm so with you on that one.
Yup... I can't think of a single thing I want bad enough to stand in some of those lines. Not to mention those lines outside for a store that's crazy enough to open at 4am. What's up with that??
Is my time and sanity worth nothing?
