did you get up early to go shopping? wait in line all morning just to get in the door first. i had to get up early for work and there was people lined outside of walmart at 415am - they open at six. i hope that $20 piece-o-**** dvd player they picked up breaks in a week.


Shoppers rush into a Best Buy in El Paso, Texas.

I slept in.

Then watched so James Bond movies on TV.


I live on the main road to the main shopping center in town.

Traffic sucks. So I don't usually go out.

The whole family slept in until 10 am this morning. It was nice.

Sat around and watched some TV. Then set up the Christmas tree as this is the only weekend we'll be home and have a chance to do it. No ornaments yet, just lights.

We are having my mom's family Thanksgiving dinner at 5 pm. Gotta drive about 2 miles. Very nice.

Lazy day.

We did about 75% of our Christmas shopping last weekend. Will do the rest on the internet in the next couple weeks.

I would rather spend more money than run around with those bunch of clowns.

Heck, I rather work for 2 hours and not line up in the freezing cold at 4 in the morning.

My wife and I stayed home yesterday. She did purchase an Airport Express from Apple Online, a deal not to be missed.

Apple should do something like this for our biggest shopping day of the year: Boxing Day

Smaller market... in all likelihood, apple wouldn't get enough in sales to cover the discounts...

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.
