Not me. I need my sleep!

I'll get online at some point in the morning and check out those sales. But really, we're trying hard to have a minimalist Christmas this year and I have no intention of buying with reckless abandon, on that day or any other for that matter.

Black Friday....what a name to give it.

I usually am decorating the house for Christmas that day. By then my shopping is done and my cards are ready to be mailed. Leaving me with one day to do my baking and giving me some time to still make a few more ceramic and candle gifts.

I will be going out this year. My grandma loves to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving. I thought it would be nice to spend some time with her. there fore I will be one of those crazy people up and in line to get into Walmart. Well since they are 24 hours I won't have to wait in line.

I'm a nature lover and am planning on going to Chincoteague Wildlife Preserve on the Friday after Thanksgiving. The Chincoteague Wildlife Preserve was established to save to snow geese from over hunting, and on the Friday after Thanksgiving, they open the back roads to the ponds on the island so you can drive in and see the marvel of thousands of snow geese.

Chincoteague Island is on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and can be reached via US 13 from Norfolk, or via US 50 and US 13 from the Washington DC area. There is another huge Canada Goose Refuge in Cambridge, Maryland, just off of US 50, so if anyone is interested in wildlife viewing, and is taking the Route 50 way, dont' miss the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge in Cambridge, Maryland.

Both of these are much quieter that shopping, and heck, the real sales are in the week before Christmas, and the week after Christmas.

Well - I posted before and wasn't sure if I was going to go or not. Looks like hubby and I are actually going to go for it this year. :eek:
