Happy Black Friday--Not

Black Friday... it even sounds evil...frantic grasping shoppers willing to fight for that 'special' deal. I passed, as usual, and I was even off work for a change on the day. I personally do not plan to ever enter a store on any day called Black Friday. For one thing, so Not my scene, and secondly I do not have the money to buy a gumball right now.

This will definitely be a year without presents, no doubt about it. I've had slim years before, but this one is anorexic. I have included a link on this blog entry to how I spent Thanksgiving. It's not much, a mobile upload and a short message. What else did I do? Watched a video with dinner, and have been watching a series on Netflicks called "The Monarchy." Don't ask why, I just have always been fascinated with the history of Great Britain. Took 2 classes at college level because of that fascination. From prehistoric times, to Anglo-Saxon England to the Norman Conquest, I am enjoying the revisit. Got up to the end of Henry the 3rd last night, and will likely watch another. It is cool to be able to see the places I read about previously, and hear how one nation grew out of multiple invasions to be one of Europe's strongest Nation states. I would love to visit there someday, the land itself seems to call me.

Other than that, just putzing, slept way too late due to being unable to sleep, stupid move in having after dinner coffee last night..Duh me.

Hugs,
k

I am in complete agreement about Black Friday! Have never shopped on that day and never will! Absolutely ridiculous!
Hope the rest of your Holiday Season is better!
