Just reading back over some things from last year and trying to get my feet under me for this year.
Cindy, I agree that doing it on Wednesday was great. I may do it like that from now on, too. Normally, we have church on Wednesday night, but our community has a community-wide church service on Tuesday night, so our services are cancelled on Wednesday for that week.
We've always gone Black Friday shopping. My mom NEVER started buying ANYTHING for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, and was often still buying on Christmas Eve. Our entire family used to have to wait to open presents because she was still wrapping. lol
I'm not that bad, but I do love to shop on Black Friday, which gets earlier each year with the Christmas creep. Even though I love it, I'm glad some stored didn't open on Thanksgiving like they did in 2014.
