I knew this Black Friday would be different. Many stores are doing online sales now and most deals can be found online as well as in stores. Beth, Tabitha and I decided that we still wanted to get up early and go shop together.
We were up before the sun, got some Christmas flavored coffee, and made a route of where we would stop. We went to a bunch of places! Then, we talked Brenna into meeting up with us for lunch. (Black Friday shopping isn't really her thing.) I do have to say, the stores were still pretty busy and lines were long. It was fun to start the Christmas season with my girls this way!
When I was still in university I used to love going to the city, a long way from university dorms, and looking all over the place for little gifts. I'd start in October and carry on through December spreading out the costs. These days I wouldn't enjoy that but I still start early and buy a little in store and on line until I'm done. I'm glad you could make a day of it and visit and lunch together.
