Black Friday

As we reflect on all that we are thankful for this year and count our blessings, we must also pay homage to another celebrated tradition. One of the busiest shopping days of the year is under way. For some, the day began as early as 3am. All of the sales are only about 4-5 hours long and end by 11am. So the day after Thanksgiving is definitely one of those days where the early bird gets the worm, metaphorically speaking.

What's really interesting about the whole commercialized nature of Black Friday, is that it is a great way to get into the holiday spirit. Lots of families get out and about to enjoy the day together, stores play Christmas music, and so on. As crazy as the day is, it's become a part of our pop culture. And even better still, the shopping is great cardio for burning off the Thanksgiving feast...:) Happy shopping!
