thanksgiving has passed and it is immediately christmas time. like, immediately. i barely put my licked clean of turkey dinner dish into the sink before my mom had christmas tunes playing. I don't mind though, i love christmas. but, i don't necessarily love the craziness it brings out in people.
I have never participated in black friday. ever. i hate people when i shop, and i'd rather go on a random day when the stores are empty and i can just get shit done. This year was different. my older sister, my younger sister and my mom were all down to go to Target at 4 am. and i figured i should experience this crazy day/morning for myself in order to fully know how much i hate it.
Literally, at 4 am the parking lot was packed and the store was full of people buying tv's in fucking bulk. it was so weird. my mom bought my sister a wii for christmas and it was dirt cheap, so that was cool... but it was so bizarre how many people woke up for this chaos.
Now, thinking about it, its like, ten hours ago we were supposedly giving thanks to everything we have and appreciating our family and friends because we are lucky we have anything at all. and now, those same people are pretending they don't hear me say "excuse me" when i am really just trying to get by them, i'm not after their fucking precious play station they've been waiting for. chill out people.
I understand you want to make your kids happy, make your friends happy, by getting them the ultimate christmas gift, and if you can get it for a cheap price, hey, i love a good deal too. but come on, don't be crazy.
...i think we all remember the "tickle me elmo" incident a few years back.
