It's become a bit of a tradition at our house for everyone to go through the sale ads on Thanksgiving day and put together Christmas wish lists.
Then, I hate to admit it, I get up early the day after Thanksgiving and go shopping with all the other crazy people. I have found it to be a good day to get the majority of my shopping done and out of the way. I don't stand in line for all the hot deals, but I make my way from store to store checking off my list.
I left my house at 4 a.m. I stuck a few protein bars in my purse and made sure I had a steady flow of caffeinated beverages. I consider this my version of hunting. By the end of the day I was a little frazzled and glad to be safely home, mission accomplished.

Shock and awe. That's all I can say.
Cindy,
I'm a little embarrassed to post that.
I buy my kids Christmas gifts (we're pretty conservative with it) which means I have to shop.
My approach to all of the stuff of Christmas is "get it over with"!
Today will be get-the-decorating-over-with day.
Um. Are those really yours? (whispering very very quietly) I mean the legs...
I wish!
I wore sensible shoes and still could barely walk by the end of the day.
david you crack me up! they're mine, of course. (take off about 6 inches, add a little flesh, a pair of holey jeans and worn out running shoes with paint spots and the laces half untied-- and viola' it's me!)
