It's the Holiday Season.....the holiday season....

I love Christmas...I love holidays period, but Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite.

We went to my friends house down the road and enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast with their huge family. It was a lot of fun and oooooh, the fried turkey's! YUM! A baked turkey is beans in taste compared to an injected fried turkey...that's heaven, lol!

The same friend and I enjoyed Black Friday shopping with her sister and other family members the next morning-very early. Holy Moly it was crazy out there...We found all the best lines though and seemed to get in and out of stores very quickly compared to some. Just a hint, at Walmart wait until the crowd heads to the register's up front-and they all seem to gravitate that way, it's like a mass wave really, then stay in the electronics department and 5-6 min later you are walking out to your car. The 'underclothing' department in the department stores...another good place to checkout. And Kohl's. That place rocks. The lines were crazy long, but we waited only 6-7 minutes to get to a register. Not bad for Black Friday. I found a bunch of great deals on some things that I'd been wanting and needing. I finally got my crockpot-$13!

We got home and were exhausted. I took a bit of a nap and then went back out with my friend again to catch a movie called The Blind Side. A very good movie. I was so wore out! On Saturday I just wanted to do nothing and slept in quite late...surprising too since I rarely sleep in at all.

Now it's on to the Christmas holiday season!
