Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving break is always one of my favorite times of the year. It is a time to show what you are thankful for as well as a time to eat a lot of delicious foods. My family usually meets every year on Thanksgiving day at my grandparents’ house. We always have numerous amounts of dishes to choose from some old and some new. The regulars are turkey, ham, egg noodles, and my sister always makes scrumptious pumpkin pies from our dad’s old recipe. Everyone in our family is a wonderful cook so, I always end up eating way too much. Food is something we all can be thankful for. One tradition my family likes to participate in every year is that good old day after Thanksgiving BLACK FRIDAY!!!! Not only do you get good sales but you also get to spend time finding gifts for those loved ones that you are thankful for. As a culture we give gifts to show we appreciate each other. Well, this year all the best sells were at Target. All my husband wanted for Christmas this year was a big screen TV, either a forty six inch or a fifty inch. Well, Target had a sale for a forty six inch for three hundred dollars. Great price. Great TV. And we could do it so, I decided to get that for my husband. I started my night by going to Wal-mart around seven thirty. I waited in line to get my father in law a wii that was on sale for an amazing one hundred dollars. My sister got in line for a bike for my husband’s niece…. Her first bike! Super exciting! Then, the night continued in line at Target. Of course since that TV was such a great buy, there were about sixty people in front of us in line and only thirty of those Tvs. I was so upset because I was for sure we weren’t going to get it for him. They let thirty people in at a time. When we got in the store the majority of the people who were let in before us were following the lady’s instructions and were calm and took their time and got a cart. Heck! I wasn’t gonna waste the time getting a cart if it meant I could get that TV. I would drag that TV around the store if I had to. I rushed to where the Tvs were and snatched one as my sister helped the people in front of us save ones for the kind people who stood in line with us. I got it! I got the TV for my husband. It was worth the hassle of black Friday to be able to get something to truly show my husband appreciation for putting up with me! J We got the rest of our family members nice gifts for their Christmas like clothes, a GPS, an electric blanket, some house decorations, foot spa stuff, and even a candy machine for my little sister! I can’t wait to see their faces on Christmas day! That’s the best part! J
