The Holidays!, let's get into the spirit! Options

Just thought it would be nice to get into the spirit of things!

I most look forward to mashed potatoes. But only if they're homemade. Otherwise it's probably the bread.

I do plan on shopping on Friday, but I'm not after any hot-ticket items so I don't have the day scheduled out or anything. I'll set my alarm to get up, but when I get tired I'll go home.

This year I am having Thanksgiving with Jason's family at their lake house in Granbury. His parents have been working to remodel the whole house, and I know they're eager to show it off. It's the first time I won't be with my family, but it's also the first time I've been a part of Jason's family. Two of my brothers aren't even coming in, so I figured it was more important to make it down to Houston when we will all be together, which will be Christmas, and then Jason can be with my family. See this marriage thing isn't so hard!

Well after about 6 hours we are back from Black Friday shopping. Up at 4:20 this morning, off to Best Buy, then Target, Walmart, and Kohl's.

We got to Best Buy right before 5 when they opened. The desktop bundle I wanted was gone, but they had another one that I snagged (this)

Target and Walmart we got some DVDs as well as some ornaments to decorate our tree, which we will be putting up today - our first Christmas!

At Kohl's we got some picture frames and an "Our First Christmas Together 2007" ornament. This was by far the worst store we went to. They opened at 4am and when we drove by at 4:45 on the way to Best Buy, the place was packed. We finally got around to going back about 8 and it took us almost an hour just to make it through checkout! They only have like 12 regular registers, then jewelry had its own line (you had to take a number just to get someone to help you!) and it took FOR.EV.ER.

Now I'm gonna put on some holiday tunes, pour the hot chocolate, and decorate our apartment!
