Catching Up: Black Friday

This post should have appeared shortly after Thanksgiving:

In the United States, Thanksgiving is now over. And so is the now famous "Black Friday," the official launch of the Christmas shopping season. For the first time, Tracey and I did the crazy thing of being in line all night at one of the major electronics retailers to catch the great sales they have on Black Friday. It was an experience of a lifetime. The weather was mildly cold for our area -- I cannot imagine doing this kind of thing in the colder states. The people were great -- we made some friends and had lots of fun. And the bargains were well worth the long lines and long waiting. The shopping did take a toll on us -- but the joy we brought to the family made it all worth it. Email me if you want more details on our shopping experience this Black Friday.
