Not so Black Friday


In a new tradition that we started last year, Renee and I did all of our Christmas shopping for the kids the day after Thanksgiving. Now in the States, this day is known for the hordes of people getting up early to find all the deals for their Christmas shopping. Over here, neither Thanksgiving nor Christmas are huge holidays so the Friday after Thanksgiving means absolutely nothing, thus we were able to go to the Toys R Us in the mall, without having to worry about crowds, take our time picking out the toys and still be the first and only people in line when we were checking out.

It's fun that we were able to say that we finished our Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving, but it’s a tradition that we will definitely not continue when we go back to the States.
