From what I understand, many people use Thanksgiving as an alternative Christmas. Visit the inlaws on Thanksgiving; visit the other side of the family for Christmas…or vice versa. While half of America is busying driving and flying around the country, Thanksgiving was never a big deal in my family. Many times we’d have our grandparents over who live just 20 minutes away. And that was it. Mom always goes shopping on the Friday afterwards. I choose to always stay home, not because of Buy Nothing Day. It’s because I don’t like crowds. Any sale which might save me a few dollars is not worth the hassel caused by actually trying to get to the retail establishment.
They were actually giving parking lot traffic reports on NewsChannel 5 today. Telling people where to park at the local malls.
The 2 digital pictures I took of the family’s thankgiving meal didn’t turn out that great, so I won’t be posting them here. I was disappointed too.
