Best Black Friday Ever

For the last twenty plus years I have spent this day decorating for Christmas. But not this year! I decorated two weeks early because that was when I had the time.

Today I woke up and had the most lovely day with my family. I made five containers of turkey tetrazzini to get Russ through the year. Carter, Claire and I went to the Toms’ house and had a fabulous visit for a few hours with no guilt that I should be home working.

We watched the family dividing game between the Chicago Bears (Claire’s team) and the Philadelphia Eagles (Russ’ team). Congratulations to Claire on a big win.

We went to Bar Taco and had dinner with the Prebles so they could meet Claire and Claire could meet them. Then all the girls went to see Wicked for Good. When we arrived at our assigned seats we discovered we were next to the Pottenger girls and Amos. Such a great coincidence. The movie was not as good as the first one, but that was the same case as the first act of the musical was better than the second act. Nonetheless it was fun to go to the movies and be with the girls.

No shopping was done, except online for my share your Christmas people, so I did not have to brave any stores as well as I did not have to decorate. I think this is the way Black Friday is supposed to be. I am going to decorating for Christmas weeks in advance from now on. Why not? We need to have more sparkle in our lives and more fun on Thanksgiving weekend.
