Oh, I know. It just broke my heart & reminded me of what AreWeThereYet said on another thread about her black Friday experience at her previous place of employment. People are so clueless sometimes & it really makes you wonder how these certain folks really feel about the Christmas season. So sad.

My mom & I went out one year & decided it wasn't worth it. We didn't have too many issues with crowds or anything like that but just the attitude of everyone that was out was poor. People were on a mission & they didn't care who was in their way. Personally, I have more problems returning things after Christmas. By then, all the retail workers are just finished & exhausted & not nearly as pleasant as normal. Good thing I do most my shopping online. LOL

There are so few gifts that I give that go on sale ONLY on Black Friday that it's not worth wasting my vacation at work to take the day off.

I prefer online shopping this time of year too.... lots of 'online only' deals today, although I haven't been checking them out... because I'm at work (and too busy playing on MFP :laugh: )

HA! Kohls was having a pretty decent sale online today through 1pm EST. I'm done Christmas shopping, but was tempted by a pair of earrings. I lost one of my diamond studs yesterday & my ears feel naked! I resisted the urge, though. Maybe someone else will buy me better ones. :bigsmile:

So, does anyone have anything special on their list to Santa this year?

One of my favorite sites is a live camera set up in an african animal reserve......it is live 24 hrs a day near a small pond of water.......it is so exciting when you see elephants, monkeys etc......but then there are times when there is nothing..........there are three different live cam sites on this one site...if you go to http://www.africam.com/wildlife/index.php ...........then you will see a catagory for "streaming cam" and under that is three different live cams and one is a daily highlight thing......... i just checked and there is nothing right now but in a minute there could be so i often just keep it going on in the background while i am doing work and then check it out once in a while

.....i remember when i first started going to that site and i always was just missing the action

.....but when i finally did get to see things happen i was hooked

........anyways have a great day

What a cool web cam!!

Alright folks, I'm off to the gym, then home to make some pies and casseroles for Thanksgiving at my Nanny's house tomorrow.

Have a great Friday everyone!!!

My husband and I just got finished decorating the outside of the house for Christmas! It was really cold, but since we had the time off we took advantage of it.

The rest of the day will be pretty mellow - we're watching Disney movies - currently, The Lady and the Tramp.

Got a favorite Disney movie?

Have fun, Lauryn! 3 Thanksgivings...I wouldn't survive.

I'll have to check out that webcam to show my boys. It sounds like something they would love!

Hmmm...favorite Disney Movie. I love Toy Story & Cars, or maybe it is just that my boys love those movies so much I think I do, too? My favorite from way back would have to be Fox & The Hound. I cry like a baby every single time she leaves that fox in the woods, but I still love it. Lady & the Tramp is a good one, too. Heck, I love just about every Disney movie you could throw at me. :bigsmile:
