The turkey and pumpkin pie and green bean casserole are still weighing them down and yet, for many intrepid souls, the game is afoot...the season is joined...the "fun" part of the holiday season is at hand.
Having given thanks yesterday with friends, family, bountiful food, and badly played football, folks much hardier than I roused themselves from warm beds and sally forth to do battle...bargain-hungry credit cards ever at the ready...in the bustling malls of America.
It's another "Black Friday" (the day when prayerful retailers hope that the armies of holiday-crazed, bargain-trolling, elbow-throwing consumers will turn of the color of the ink on their annual ledgers from depressing red to wondrous, profit-rich black) is upon us.
May God, Santa Claus, and the Lords of Commerce bless and keep them all. Me, I'll pass (internet shopping and UPS trucks that'll deliver right to my doorstep are, to my mind, much saner ways to proceed into the gentle season of giving)...but Godspeed, you bold and mad shoppers, Godspeed!
