Oh yes, the lovely joys of the shopping season. One must arise at 4am (or earlier - my hubby said that Kohl's in NoVA was opening at 12midnight Friday for those earlier early shoppers *facepalm*), stand in line for hours, rush the door as it opens elbowing granny as you squeeze through, fight with rival Mother over the last hip-hugging jeans your daughter simply *must have* (that can't even be worn to school anyway), stand in line that runs length of store to checkout, experience a whole new level of road rage as you escape from the parking lot, go to the next store and repeat until you finally arrive home after dark.
You'll be rejoicing the true meaning of the holiday when everyone complains that they hate what they got, return half of the stuff to the stores (where you wait in more impossibly long lines) and cry over the massive credit card bill that graces your mailbox come January.
Yes, Xmas is a most festive holiday isn't it?
(I personally celebrate black friday by not going to any stores at all for the entire weekend. saves my sanity.)
