For the past week I have been on Thanksgiving Break. Not only did I not have to go to work, but I also got a lot accomplished (and had a lot of fun). From Monday thru Wednesday, I worked on my dissertation, and I am almost done with the first three chapters. Of course Thursday was Thanksgiving Day, and I enjoyed being with family. However, all of these things must take a back seat to what is quite possibly my favorite day of the whole year. Of course I'm talking about Black Friday. I seriously think that I look forward to this day more than any other. For the past eight or nine years, Hannah and I have participated in the Black Friday sales event. Most of the time Quincy has gone with us, too. What made this year so special, though, was that Cassie was able to go. We stayed in Valdosta overnight on Thursday, and got up early Friday morning. Our shopping day began at 4:00 am and ended at 3:00 pm. We hit almost every store in Valdosta, and I got 95% of my Christmas shopping done.
The week ended with us cleaning and decorating the house for Christmas. This is still a work-in-progress. We did manage to get the tree up, though. The kids were really excited to put their ornaments on the tree. Overall, this was a very productive Thanksgiving Break, and I look forward to Christmas Break which is a mere two-and-a-half weeks away.
