What is this Black Friday nonsense?

What is this Black Friday nonsense?? Is this a politically incorrect term that at some point I am going to pay for at more than retail price?

By the way… aren’t we supposed to be broke? Aren’t we supposed to be hanging outside the WalMart, Target, and Best Buy in lawn chairs ’til 5 to fight our way to the ten dollar computers???? (ok, I made that up, don’t run to WalMart). But, you get my drift.

Remember me? I am the jolly, ‘November 1, gonna beat the rest’, Christmas diva… Now that we are actually watering our “three week cut” Christmas tree, and wholly believing that it will produce apples at some point, I am not the ICON. I am not the ‘pre holiday Goddess’ (danggitt, I made that up too). I now own a plain ole’ Christmas tree and have lights on my house to not only direct the planes (we are 2 miles from the airport), but to signify the spirit of the season.

Wow. Now what? Seriously, am I suppose to NOT fight the NOT black Friday crowd? What happened to the 4 AM craziness? WalMart says they are starting at 10. Not to be a ‘know it all’, but Black Friday doesn’t start at 10 on Thursday WALMART. Duh. Yes Target. You are good at 12 A.M., but no, I still shall not visit you until at least 4 when I am conditioned to wake up in a bad mood to Christmas shop. I refuse to ‘Black Friday’ you until I have at least 2 to 3 hours of sleep that can cause me to be awakened to run in angst to the stores and fight for the 42 inch TV for 250 bucks…. yes, I already have a bajillion TVs in my house, but who could resist? And yes, because I am so late to shop you for the fighting things, I will settle for the two dollar bag of Reeses’ Pieces Christmas candies… at a savings of twenty three cents and I might throw in the reindeer slippers for extra measure.

I will then visit you Sweet Starbucks …. not only will you overcharge me for my plain coffee with a pump of sugar free vanilla, but you will appropriately play the Christmas music that I need to hear to give you the extra change from my bill. I will then go to WalMart and see if there are any ‘special savings’ left that I should fight for. I mean, seriously, can you ever have too many trampolines? Have you guys SEEN the happy kids jumping on them in the ads???

We probably shouldn’t even talk about the Barbies that can dance, sing, ghetto-up, etc…. too controversial.  But I’m there.

So, to sum this up. Hi Black Friday, er, uh, I mean Thursday evening…. I am all about the Christmas spirit. I refuse to give up. I will be in NYC for the week prior to Christmas day, so my holiday time shall be sacred. I will Rockefeller myself out, pretzel myself out, and be glee and joyous… but right now, we are still Thanksgiving focused… I am thankful for our freedoms, my family, and my future..

I am a bit sarcastic, but yet, still most thankful!!!
