I asked what it was and I got many different answers. All I know is to avoid the stores like the plague! People line up in the wee hours of the mornig to get stuff on sale. Gone is the Christmas spirit, it's push and shoving golore. Just to save money.Teddy Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145413222317511542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-23538673052121558632007-12-27T21:37:00.000+11:002007-12-27T21:37:00.000+11:00Kristie, you know how you are with gadgets?

On a much bigger TV!<BR/><BR/>Cindy, I remember those days! I can't say that my family ever had a meltdow n either, but that doesn't mean to say that there weren't plenty of held tongues!<BR/><BR/>Julia, I think I did okay!Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-39475823961294220862007-12-27T19:57:00.000+11:002007-12-27T19:57:00.000+11:00Happy Boxing Day, Marg!

You know, fighting over the holidays. It's stressful for sure but I don't get stressed about being with my family, I'm more stressed about disappointing someone. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, here it is a huge shopping day but I refuse to go out in it. I remember when Boxing Day was another holiday where all the stores were closed. Nothing but family for 2 straight days ;)<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you got a few fun things for yourself! Bob and I will probably go out over the next few days - those who didn't have enough vac days will go back on tomorrow so it might not be so bad out there.<BR/><BR/>CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-25663001660199986512007-12-27T09:58:00.000+11:002007-12-27T09:58:00.000+11:00*g* Now that I know what you got for Christmas - t...*g* Now that I know what you got for Christmas - the question is - have you watched yet and what did you think????Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.com
