#28- Student Choice- Gray Thursday

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays- spending time with family, eating wonderful food, and of course  Black Friday shopping all add to the joy of the day.  This year, the retail industry started the sales early on what people are calling "Gray Thursday."  Although I felt bad for the employees of the stores that opened on Thanksgiving, I took advantage of sales!  I started at Wal-Mart and arrived at 7:00 for the 8:00 sales.  They opened the items early and I had my purchases back at my house by 8:30.  Then we went to Target and Belk.   Belk was a mad house.  After waiting outside in line for 30 minutes, customers were running into the store to grab the deals.  Lines were long and it was crowded.  I was home and in the bed by 2:30 a.m. instead of getting up at 3:00 to go shopping.  I'd say it was a successful night!
