No Black Friday Shopping + Dude

There is nothing I want or need to buy thank goodness. I used to always go out and fight the crowds and traffic for good deals. Not any more. I will stay home and watch the birds. Hopefully eat some turkey later. We will see. Maybe find an old movie to watch. No plans are good with me. If you go out, please be careful on the roads. I will be here when you make it back home I am sure. I might join the cats for a nap. They are ahead of me as you can barely see in the photo. The Dude is napping under the cover.

I learned years ago that retailers typically start hiking their prices starting in August so that they can deceive the average shopper into believing that the sales on Black Friday are real sale deals.

You are wise to stay home. I can’t stand shopping with crowds, bumper to bumper traffic, no parking spaces, and long lines. I buy whatever I want throughout the year - sale or no sale.

We drove home on Black Friday. Actually the traffic was better than on Preparation Wednesday, but that is another story. The cats are glad to see me, and all is right with my world.

That is usually the case. Most have gotten to their destination.

No plans are the best plans out sometimes I love the way he is hiding away there.

I have bought everything I could wish for in the past, so I don't know what else to get really for this year. A problem, since I have to give some kids some Christmas gifts! How many pets do you have there? I had a kitten a while back, but I was too busy so couldn't keep it. I might have one again perhaps when I am having more time to care for it.

@CarolDM Cute, they advise that we should have two cats at the same time so that they could entertain each other.

It’s not Black Friday here, but this holiday season, people are out and it’s causing more traffic. Traffic is just worst.

I couldn't be bothered fighting crowds of people - and there is nothing I need anyway.
