Happy Black Friday to You!
Did you go shopping today? I sure did. Out of the house and in the stores by 5 AM, it was a great day to observe my fellow humans and smell the stress. I even bought something (for myself).
I am lucky to be off today. My workplace doesn't recognize Black Friday as a holiday. It actually is a Wikipedia Holiday, one of many (basically, a holiday that isn't recognized by the government or your place of employment, but which you and all your fellow employees are certain is a valid reason to skip work/ knock off early/ drink excessively. I think the next one is either the Wall Street Journal's "Open that Bottle Day" or Superbowl Sunday. Each one is on a floating date that I haven't bothered to look up.
Don't worry about wrapping the stuff you bought or hiding it. Everyone knows where you keep the wrapping paper and the presents, anyway.
