I resisted and caught up on much needed sleep.
Anyone brave the cold, crowds and crazies for good deals today?

I did not! I really wanted to go to Victoria's Secret and get that free tote bag & goodies if you purchase $60 or more, but I just couldn't quite muster the courage! It would have been nice to have my sister and sister-in-law's Christmas gifts already, but oh well!

I don't think I have ever gone shopping on Black Friday. Huge crowds stress me out. I hate traffic.

I agree FYI...I used to go when my daughter was younger and ONLY if a specific item for a Christmas gift was on special.

Absolutely NO Black Friday shopping for us. First off, no money (that'll kill it every time)...second, I hate the crowds and fighting over silly materialistic things that won't matter 6 months after Christmas is over anyway....third, this is the day that we traditionally put up our tree! And yes, that DID get done. The tree is up, decorated, and sitting in the midst of all the dang packing boxes in the living room! LOL

NO shopping for us. Like Suebee I put up the tree. Now still got to decorate the house.
Volley, I can no longer bear to watch that movie. It was okay the first 6 or 7 times I watched it, but my brother loved the movie so much that he watched it three times a day on weekends and once after school during the week. This went on from Thanksgiving to Christmas. I shudder when I see it now. I heard though that they recently made a sequel to it. Did you see it? Was it any good?

TBS or TNT does a 24-hour marathon of it on Christmas...at that point I can only take so much of it.
I didnt see the sequel but wonder if it had the original cast as many do not.
Wow...sounds like your brother reeeallly love that movie!!!
