5 lbs of butter and a turkey later......I got up to run with Marsha.  She had to get out early so she could get to the sales. We diverge in many opinions, but none so vehemently as this morning.  I never understood shopping stampede style the day after thanksgiving (or waiting 2 days in line for anything).  I hate shopping as it is, much less surrounded by germ ridden mouth breathers who come out of the woodwork for a sale.  Sorry,  I will go without having more crap, before being touched, much less trampled, in a Walmart. I realize this is unpatriotic. Anyway, I came home from the run chilled to the bone and so without showering threw off my sweaty clothes and got back into bed.  I drifted to sleep and woke up at 4:00 in the afternoon.  Yes, that was an 8 hour nap in case you are counting. How on earth did I get tired enough to take an 8 hour without noticing?  I blame the DTE (delayed tryptofan effect).

Love your post. I agree. I didn't step into a store yesterday. You know, with Santa you get what you get and you don't throw a fit, so there are no "must buys" for this Santa. I'll take my chances and shop when I feel like it.

Wow and 8 hours for a nap? That is some crazy holiday hang over. Was it from excessive bourbon???
