Courtesy of YouTube here is Charlie Brown and the gang to inspire you in your Christmas Tree hunt.
It’s decision time again…..paper or plastic…..regular or decaf…..no not those trivial daily choices, it’s time for the most important decision of the year….. fake tree or real tree. Everyone knows the best time to buy a fake tree is after Christmas when everything is at least half off. So with that in mind, I am scouting out places to buy a real Christmas tree.

Black Friday, sounds like a terrible day, something like “the day the music died” or the stock market crashed, or maybe the end of the world. But quite the opposite of all these dire possibilities, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, the busiest shopping day of the year. Retail businesses dubbed this day “Black Friday” because this busy shopping day helps them move from being “in the red” to being “in the black”, in other words, from being unprofitable to profitable.
There are people who view shopping as a sport and Black Friday is the championship round. Who doesn’t want to win the championship? Keeping in mind it’s good to prepare if you want to win, I have compiled a few websites to help you find Black Friday Deals or find coupons and there’s even a couple of websites that notifies you if the price of an item you want drops. So do your homework, get prepared, and go out there and WIN! WIN! WIN!

The Holidays are Just a Blur
I want to be prepared for the big night next Saturday when all the little ghosts and goblins come and ring the doorbell with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads. Oh no, that’s what happens when children go to bed the night before Christmas while they’re waiting for Santa to come. Don’t blame me if I’m a little mixed up; I went to my local discount retailer with all the smiley faces and falling prices to look for Halloween candy and had to fight my way past Christmas trees, ornaments, and stockings made for filling while listening to Jingle Bells in the background.
