Black Friday is pajama day around here. I might scope some cyber sales but that is the extent of it. I have a developmentally delayed 11 year old in a wheelchair who thinks it is great fun to wheel away as fast as he can when my back is turned and a sister with demetia who is prone to wondering off. Between the two of them I avoid shopping whenever I can. Seriously, if they ever get a grocery delivery service in my area sign me up because I can not handle the two of them in public much less on a day of immense chaos.

O come, all ye patrons, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, O come ye, to black Friiiday.
Come and behold things, made in China by unpaid workers.

O come and spend your money
O come and spend your money
O come and spend your money,
China doesn’t mind.

Look at the prices, look in exultation;
O look, all ye Americans at deals too good to resist!
Glory to merchandise, all glory in the highest;

O come and spend your money
O come and spend your money
O come and spend your money,
China doesn’t mind.

:p

It's the Most Stressful Time of the Year (to the tune of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year")

It's the most stressful time of the year.
You've got to go shopping,
from mall to mall hopping,
can't find what you need--
it's the most stressful time of the year.

It's the stress-stressfullest season of all.
The store's overheated,
by crowds you're defeated,
your head starts to ache--
it's the stress-stressfullest season of all.

You circled the mall for at least half an hour
in search of a parking place.
One's going to be open, you pull up there, hopin'
and someone pulls into the space.

It's the most nerve wracking time of the year.
The children are tired,
they're cranky and wired,
they're starting to scream--
it's the most nerve wracking time of the year.

Your kid wants a toy that is sold out already.
You can't find it though you try.
Your credit card's maxed out and so is your checkbook;
you've fifteen more presents to buy.

It's the most stressful time of the year.
Your neighbor's display lights
are keeping you up nights,
with music too loud.
It's the stress-stressfullest time.
it's the most nerve wracking time,
it's the most stressful time of the year.

The better version of this one is called:

IT'S THE MOST VIOLENT DAY, AT THE MALL!

But for the life of me I can't remember all the lyrics.
(I was laughing too hard at the time!)

What area do you live in?

And I managed to snag some stuff off of Dr. Fosters and Smith with free shipping, mostly odds and ends, some new bowls, some syringes for hand feeding and stuff to make my own seed mixes as well as 2lbs of millet sprays!
