Thanksgiving shopping

We're here...We made it to Thanksgiving. And I've got a lot to be thankful for. I'm married, I have some cool family, and some friends that make it easy to realize that it's not so bad around here. I do have a hard time understanding why the Friday after Thanksgiving can be so "me" based when the day before is supposed to be reflective and devoted to being ready to give back to others. I guess this is one of those reasons that we're divided people, and have so much to learn. I'll post again soon.
