With a free day at hand, I thought I would do a season of review of this holiday season. SCORE! I loved this new 2:30AM Black Friday start time. It works for me. Next year, I'll have to make sure my alarm clock is actually set right.
I love Toys R Us opening up on Thanksgiving night because when I stroll in 12 hours after they open, there are no lines and tons of people to help me.
I love nephews who wants toys made by one company or for one cartoon or character. It makes shopping all the easier.
And who knew there was one morning out of the year were IHOP wasn't super crowded. This might need to become our new go to Black Friday eatery.
The former Learner's is still overpriced even with 60% of all items in their stores.
Kohl's and Wal-Mart are Black Friday don'ts.
Waking up at 4AM to wrap gifts is a great time to start listening to Christmas music so you can get through your whole cd collection.
I need to buy another Christmas movie on DVD because as much as I love Scrooged, I can't watch it every time I want a break from Christmas music.
Mable King was in Scrooged and The Jerk. Score! She should have married her agent.
Giving the kids, Oma, and loved ones their own Christmas paper so the presents could be easily identified is a work of genius. Score! Yeah me!
Kohl's is evil.
Media mail rocks!
Friends who advise you to purchase Superman the cartoon are the best friends. Who knew there was a Superman series that starts on Krypton.
Being up at 3AM is a good time to catch up on shows when you don't want to hear another version of Joy to the World or watch Scrooged again. And to watch shows you wouldn't ordinarily watch. Can anyone say Sing Off?
Last year, I bought some Christmas earrings from a closing Pic N Save and I thought Score! Unfortunately this year when I put them on I realized something about my Christmas self. While I don't like gaudy Christmas sweaters and earrings, I want my earrings to be noticed. The ones I bought are subtle. How can you share the joy of Christmas with subtlety? You need someone to look at your ears and say, "Hey, I love your wreaths." I use to have a pair of Christmas tree earrings. I need to find some more. Christmas earrings need to say, "Pow!".
I need to keep a better list of everything I buy after September so I won't buy gifts, then "find" things I bought earlier that I thought would be the perfect gift.
Next Thanksgiving season, I'll have to reread this list and take this knowledge with me into the next holiday season.
"Mommy, I hurt myself."
"Are you okay, Jory?"
"Yes, it only hurts a little because I'm six. If I was five, it would hurt a lot."
And people say there's no difference between the day before and after your birthday.
