It gets so ridiculous. One of my friends goes every year because her family is tight on money, which I totally understand and support, but I had to explain the workers are missing their own holiday because they're working to serve her and people like her. It makes me crazy!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507642753163503531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-12993043439827183572013-12-02T01:39:05.936-07:002013-12-02T01:39:05.936-07:00Hi Tina - if someone wants to go out to one of tho...Hi Tina - if someone wants to go out to one of those sales - frankly they take their life in their hands .. and I'd rather stay away!<br /><br />OYT is a good lad .. looking after his Mom like that - keeping her sweet!!??!!<br /><br />Hope your Thanksgiving parties were fun and you were able to enjoy yourself ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-42963119232551325272013-12-01T08:16:07.667-07:002013-12-01T08:16:07.667-07:00Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

I'm all about shopping online for Christmas to avoid crowds, anyway. However, I used to work at and then manage movie theaters. We were open all day for every major holiday. In fact, we closed once in all the time I worked there, and that was for a blizzard where they declared it illegal to be on the streets unless you had a Hummer. It was mostly military out doing emergency runs for hospital stops. I think that was 1998. I worked every holiday for years, missing the family dinner. I hated it. But if I wanted to keep my job, I had to do it. I see this as more of the same. It would be nice if everyone shut down, including movie theaters. BUT we always had people come into the theater. In fact, holidays were sell-out days. Family would eat then come out to a movie. I sort of hated them.<br /><br />Even when we opened on Day 2 of that big-ass blizzard in '98 (I think), people walked over from a nearby hotel to watch movies. No one else came, but the hotel people did.<br /><br />Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-46261497529247374512013-11-29T22:03:38.826-07:002013-11-29T22:03:38.826-07:00Does your family want you with them on Thanksgivin...Does your family want you with them on Thanksgiving or out buying things? Shame on us if we put stuff ahead of spending time with loved ones. I've had to miss many holidays, but at least it was taking care of sick kids, not fighting over a Furbie or X-Box.

I did my own anti-Rant here:<br /><br />http://www.thinkingthelions.com/2013/11/almost-everybody-in-america-is.html<br /><br />And I think we can all agree, I was brilliant. (I counted only my votes.)<br /><br />Your cooking looks so delicious.<br /><br />(And the grilled cheese you suggested gets a guest spot in my rant!)<br /><br />Hope your Black Friday went well. We took the boys to see Santa and for the first time ever they talked to him! (Well, Mr Bunches did. Mr F gave him a fist bump.)<br /><br />Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-76403421351469821732013-11-29T11:32:47.307-07:002013-11-29T11:32:47.307-07:00I just did all of my Black Friday shopping online....I just did all of my Black Friday shopping online.
