I only WISH I could forget Black Friday. It now starts here on Monday with “early deals”. My daughter worked at Macy’s when they had the bright idea for a few years to open on Thanksgiving for “Door Busters” so we had to do dinner before 1pm so she could go to work by 5. 😤

When my aunt & uncle were first dating he invited her to Thanksgiving at Great Uncle John’s house. She couldn’t show up empty handed & bought a bag of oranges. Uncle John grew oranges for Sunkist, like his father before him. 40+ years later, still a scandal. “They weren’t even Sunkist!”
