Black Friday

I'm happy to report there was absolutely no shopping done by me today whatsoever. I don't like shopping, and I don't like crowds, so you can imagine how Black Friday is not my idea of fun. However, my husband seems to have done some online purchasing (based on what my credit card says), and he also ventured out today to try to buy us a new Christmas tree. We have always put two trees up, but this year there is no room in our dining room for the second one. We knew that meant the one in the living room would have to be bigger because the old one didn't have enough room for all of our ornaments. This new tree was proving to be more challenging than I had anticipated. First of all, almost all the trees I saw were pre-lit and I did NOT want that. I'm picky about how my lights are on a tree and I've never seen a pre-lit tree that lived up to my standards. Secondly, the unlit trees that we were able to find were almost sold out. Apparently I'm supposed to think about trees in October, not at Thanksgiving. Fortunately, he found one this morning at Target, and I'm very excited to work on getting it up tomorrow evening. First though, friends will be coming over and watching the OSU/Michigan game. Go Buckeyes!
