The most wonderful time of year.....

Mass mania.?ÿ Avoid, no matter the assumed cost.

$50 off something I did not need is insane.

The only shopping I intend to do today is at the grocery store.?ÿ Forgot to get the three varied forms of cranberry to take to the family dinner on Sunday.?ÿ May top off the gas tank and pick up a newspaper.?ÿ Woo Hoo!!!

I'll bet if Hunter Thompson was still alive, he would have written for Onion. ?????ÿ

A Local left leaning opinion piece writer posted a piece recently on banning the use of the term "Black Friday" with follow up internet searches saying it was disparaging to people of color.?ÿ That made me laugh, and the best plausable root to the term originated in the Philadelphia Police Department when it caused grid lock.?ÿ (1) Where does "Black Friday" come from? - Bing video

I worked on my project today. No shopping.

Woo Hooooooo!?ÿ Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday.?ÿ That's the day to ignore all the big retailers by only doing business with small, local retail shops.?ÿ Yes, Virginia, there really is a Small Business Saturday.?ÿ See below.

?ÿ

Small Business Saturday, which takes place on November 27 this year,?ÿencourages consumers to support local businesses by shopping small. American Express launched this shopping holiday in 2010, at the height of the Great Recession, as a way of redirecting holiday shopping to local stores.
