What’s scarier? Black Friday, Family Dinner, or Holiday
Traffic
So after much thought, consideration, and experience, I’ve
decided that Black Friday is the scariest part of the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. I find that though
family dinner can be awkward at times, it’s really not that bad. I mean, being surrounded
by people who love you and want to know about every aspect of your life may be
annoying, but it’s also sweet and endearing.
Thanks to the magic of audio books, podcasts, and good old fashion
conversation, holiday traffic isn’t so bad either. The hardest part about it is
making sure you’ve gaged your estimated lag time against the size of your gas
tank. For me, it’s really kind of nice because my husband does all the driving,
unless he’s under the weather.
As for Black Friday, there are so many reasons why I don’t
even bother. The fact that I am the anti-shopper, literally having to be forced
to make retail purchases, I just don’t think the deals are worth it. I have
nothing against others who choose to participate in the gauntlet of Black
Friday shopping, but if you try to drag me into it, you’ll have a fight on your
hands. I do however admit that I enjoy hearing the ridiculous accounts of the
goings on, simply because I’m glad I chose not to be around when they happened.
Comments are welcomed.
