As I mentioned earlier, shopping on the day after Thanksgiving has become a tradition for me and my mom. This year we didn't go to bed until about 1-ish am, so we didn't get on the road quite as early as we'd like. We got up around 4:30, showered, and off we went. Our first stop was Sear's, where mom and dad used some points he's earned at work to buy a 46" LCD TV that was on the Early Bird special for $500 off! It was a great deal and mom was SO PROUD of herself for making the purchase all by herself, since Dad was still home, sleeping at the time, I'm sure! LOL We had a very relaxing lunch at Carlos O'Kelly's that was FREE...thanks DAD! Then, it was off to shop some more!
I can't go into detail on my purchases because then Christmas wouldn't surprise anyone, but I will tell you I accomplished A LOT! I got the kids pretty much finished, along with a few others. It feels so good to have a head start on my shopping because I really don't want December to be any crazier than it has to be! There has to be plenty of time to make Christmas cookies, decorate the house and, of course, listen to some good ole Christmas music! Nothing like some good Christmas carols to put you in the holiday spirit! A few of my recommendations...Andrew Peterson, Shane & Shane (Thank you Heather) and Kenny and Dolly, which is a family favorite...right mom? :-)
Hopefully, tonight I will be able to get out the Christmas decorations, so we can decorate the tree tomorrow. Then, it will REALLY seem like Christmas! Have a great week everyone!
