> Well, yesterday I looked at the news and all the stations were ranting about how crowded the stores were, and how horrible the traffic was downtown, and blah blah blah but I decided to go Christmas shopping with my family despite the hype about the day after thanksgiving. So...we're driving downtown...and the traffic is better than usual! Hmmmmm. And when we got to the shopping area, the parking lots had plenty of spots left! The stores were hardly more crowded than usual. So...I've decided that all the craziness about day after thanksgiving shopping is just made up by news stations because they have nothing else to report. Or they're too lazy to come up with anything else.


My family makes the day after Thankgiving an official "no shopping day." And anyway, they said on the news that there were no fads this year so holiday sales would be down.
