Our First Black Friday

Dom and I have always enjoyed the spectacle that is Black Friday for several reasons: 

1. I love Christmas and jump at the first opportunity (after Thanksgiving is over) to begin celebrating
2. We like a good deal
3. But most of all we LOVE the social experiment that has come to nearly be a holiday in its own right in our consumeristic society. It is such a strange beast. 

So even though we could just buy the deals off the internet, we opt to bundle up and head out for some fun. Last year we even hit our local outlets for some observation and let me tell you, there are a lot of people out there willing to wait outside in the almost freezing cold for a pair of fancy velour sweatpants.

This year the day has become a family tradition and Declan didn't seem to mind at all. 

But when we got home we did sleep until noon and so did he!
