Today I am so very, Very thankful that I no longer work on Black Friday (which I did for Many Many years) and I can stay home to watch the marathon of Christmas decorating shows on HGTV all day, which has gleefully become my Black Friday tradition. (Along with munching on left overs off & on all day!) I honestly cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am to be home on this day instead of having to be up at the crack of dawn to deal with over-zealous, over-tired, over-caffeinated shoppers!
I did get the Fall stuff down and packed away for Hubby to take down to the basement. I even hung the lighted Christmas decorations in the window and gathered together all of my winter themed decorations so I can begin decorating next week. (Winter dec's go up first, then Christmas gets layered over that so after New Year's when Christmas gets packed away, I'm still dec'd out for Winter). I found another basket for my overflowing stash of yarn (the stash of skeins I put out for the season that is). I've got plans for the extra's in my stash, stay tuned!
I also finished getting the spare room ready for sis.in.law's arrival tomorrow. Finally I'm getting excited to head down to Philly! (She's flying into Philly International). We're bringing Mom along (who's never been to Philly) so while I'm excited to see Philly all decked out for Christmas, I'm wondering just how interesting of a day trip this is going to be overall!
Now as the ham reheats in the oven, I'm going to see what I feel like reading & get back to knitting the scarf I started recently. (And continue watching HGTV!)

So friends, what are some of your Black Friday traditions?

Truthfully, I was very lazy all day! I put a lot of stuff in wish baskets on the computer so we'll see how much of it I wind up buying for presents! That was the extent of my shopping!
Hope you can keep smiling tomorrow and remember things will be okay!
Which this reminds me of that new country song, God is good, beer is cold...and people are crazy! :)
