Christmas is coming! I know you're all out shopping on Black
Friday. No? I'm not either! I figure if you're reading this there's a good
chance you're not shopping.
I have a number of friends who adore this day. They get all
their Christmas shopping done and for a good price. Sometimes they get amazing
bargains. But the few times I tried to shop on Black Friday were not a success.
First, I'm very short. When you're as short as I am, you are eye level with
most people's elbows. Consequently, I really don't like crowds.
The second thing. I've talked before about my problems with
organization. Sometimes I know several things I want to get for friends and
family early. But that's rare. I think you need to go with specific things in
mind that you want to buy. I don't usually manage that. Besides, I like to
Christmas shop but I don't want to do it until closer to Christmas. If I do it
early I feel kind of lost for the month of December.
Third thing. This is a biggie. I can't think of any reason
to voluntarily get up at two or three in the morning to stand in line in the
cold darkness.
Are you a Black Friday shopper? Do you love it, hate it or
don't care? Make a comment and I'll select one winner for my Christmas book,
The Doctor's Christmas Proposal. This is Wyatt Gallagher's story. Here's a peek
at the cover. If you want to see more, check out my webpage, www.evegaddy.net. Available at all
