Christmas Shopping Facts
Black Friday is generally considered the day following Thanksgiving which kicks off the Holiday Shopping Season. On this day, stores all over America have big sales to get people in the mood for shopping. There are some people who wait in lines, over night, to ensure that they are first to pick up on those "great deals". Black Friday then leads to "Cyber Monday", which is a new occasion to denote the Monday following Thanksgiving. While we are all supposed to be back to work, it is the time people get online to continue shopping. Don't worry, though. If you miss those two days of sales, there is plenty of time right up until December 25th to get your shopping in...to be followed by the day after Christmas sales! If you find any time to yourself, though, you might enjoy these Christmas Shopping Facts during the holiday season! Read more...
What Are Your Thanksgiving Traditions?
We're on the verge of Thanksgiving and we will be getting together with my entire family. While I love Thanksgiving, it is typically the same thing every year. We have a set group of traditions that are "normal" to us. When I was younger, I just assumed that everyone did the same things. That was until I met my wife. Her family has an entirely different set of traditions. It took a few years for me to get used to them, but I realized that they weren't "wrong" in their traditions, they were just different than my own.

They are just different than your own. So my question is: What do you do for Thanksgiving? Would any of them be considered strange to others? Since my wife and I have been married, some of our Thanksgiving traditions have merged to form new ones. Both of our families look at these as strange...Will it ever end? Read more...

Will Black Friday Be Your Day Of Shopping?
Black Friday is coming! It's the day known as "the busiest shopping day of the year". It's the day when every retail store seems to roll out the red carpet, open their doors at 5:00am (or earlier) and pray for the long lines of shoppers. You can get crazy-deals on Black Friday. I have friends claiming to buy laptops for a $100, flatscreen televisions for $200, and every toy imaginable for a song and a dance. Before most people are even awake, "the shoppers" invade the Walmarts, Targets, and Best Buys of the nation. Will you be one of them? Does anyone really know why Black Friday is so important to the American shopping connoisseur? Here's a quick quiz for you to discover the source of this insanity - and if you're out shopping that day, could you pick me up a Snuggie for my mom?
