Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving (Thursday the 23rd) is coming up. I got both Thursday and Friday off. Trying to see if there is any "last last last min deal" for us to have a getaway. Flying is so expensive now. Although sometimes the tickets are cheap, after adding the government taxes and fees, plus the 9/11 security fee and the fuel surcharge, the price could double from what you are original quoted. Luckily the price for gasoline has gone down some, so it's easier on people's wallets.

My family doesn't celerbrate Thanksgiving. We still look at it as a holiday and get together for a "nicer meal". The must have for Thanksgiving -- turkey -- is too big for us, so usually we use chicken as a substitute. Ha ha. What's fun about Thanksgiving besides getting two days off is Black Friday: The day after Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving always falls on a Thursday). That's when a lot of the stores get huge Holiday sales. It's said to be the WORST day to shop because prices are dropped and everyone goes to get their Christmas shopping done. I would try to avoid the mall unless I wanna feel festive and squashed.
