Default "Did you know...?" - Friday, November 27, 2009

Did you know that Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, which is widely touted as the biggest Christmas shopping day in America actually isn’t? No, in fact, the Saturday before Christmas has historically been the largest volume shopping day.

Spoiler
For those last-minute shoppers, of course! .

I"m going back to bed. If it is going to be black out today I need the comfort of my bed. No crowds for me.

And today is a "Black Friday" on the world stock markets which are tanking around the world today.

Not to worry......they will bounce back.....

I think a lot of people who have finished their shopping, will go out for that one last time. There is always a last minute item you need and then something else that catches your eye.

It's kind of fun to go out when you don't need anything just for the spirit! Can actually enjoy the music and lights.
