The Christmas Season has begun with Black Friday

I had another bout with insanity today. I woke up early and was at Walmart by 6:15 am. That is like two hours before I am normally even out of bed. First I couldn't find a parking spot at my nearest Walmart so I decided to go to the Long Beach Town Center, and there I had more trouble finding a parking spot, but I persevered, and finally found one. When I walked to the back of the store to pick up a Flip, so that I could go stand in line behind, 100's of people, I learned that I first had to stand in line in the electronics department behind hundreds of other people. So I turned around and walked out. Never again, and I seriously mean, never again will I even attempt to go to Walmart on Black Friday. Since, I was out, I did manage to find a few things in much smaller lines at Old Navy, Linens and Things and Carters.

Luckily tonight, we got to finish off the day with Christmas decorating. It was the first time in years that I was really looking forward to it.

Elliot is fascinated by this snowglobe, he sat and looked and sort of played with it for about half an hour tonight. I fear for the Santa Claus though, so we will have to put it up someplace high!
