View Full Version : What do you do right after BF shopping?
cherry33778 9-10-2006, 2:18 PM I usually come home, throw my bags everywhere, fix me a honeybaked ham leftover sandwich with a tall glass of pepsi and a piece of my famous homemade pumpkin pie, and talk and laugh with my mom until we pass out on the couch and loveseat. What about you guys and girls?:)
Steakgoddess 9-10-2006, 2:22 PM Go out to eat
Last year I went to work after sitting out at circuit City all night.
This year, I'll probably take a nap after shopping.
Christy Garner 9-10-2006, 2:30 PM take a nap after shopping all day. That is literally all I want to do.
Gporter34 9-10-2006, 2:33 PM We have breakfast at Denny's, then home to wrap gifts before someone peaks, and then a much needed nap. Well, last year I came here and talked for a little while about my BF experiences before heading off for a nap.LOL
StephanieD 9-10-2006, 2:36 PM Typically, I finish decorating for Christmas after Black Friday shopping (if I'm not already finished). I'm usually on an adrenaline rush for the whole day.
This year, I will be working on Black Friday, but I don't have to be in until noon. So, I plan to do as much as possible before 11 AM and then I'll be heading to work.
Booterbunz 9-10-2006, 3:08 PM After standing in lines all night/morning/afternoon and having my share of crowds..lol..I usually grab something to eat on the way home and then try to wrap the gifts as early as possible and then will take a nap! LOL
gisellerol 9-10-2006, 3:35 PM Me and my friend go out to eat and then we drop off the gifts to her house cause she only has a baby that wont peek and then we save the wrapping for another day and I go home to sleep.
shopping mom 9-10-2006, 3:39 PM The last few years I came home and slept. This year I will probably have to work so I do not know my plans yet.
cleverbffool 9-10-2006, 3:59 PM I usually come home, throw my bags everywhere, fix me a honeybaked ham leftover sandwich with a tall glass of pepsi and a piece of my famous homemade pumpkin pie, and talk and laugh with my mom until we pass out on the couch and loveseat. What about you guys and girls?:)
Wow I wish I could do that, me its hope hubby took decorations out of the attic, get kids fed, decorate, wrap, and then hopefully get some sleep.

Yup, that's right.
bayhaysay 9-10-2006, 5:17 PM Go out to eat then come home and start wrapping presents.
codeblue 9-10-2006, 6:10 PM Hide the gifts so kids can't find them then take a nap.
Cheri0113 9-10-2006, 7:25 PM go out to eat, come home and take care of kids.
Eat, then Sleep...
In that order if I can manage it.
:D
christmasangel 9-10-2006, 7:48 PM Grab a bite to eat on my way home. Lug in all my bags. Brag to Hubby about my AWESOME deals! CRASH!!!
Gurnee Al 9-10-2006, 8:10 PM Sleep, then go back out.
blakes_mommy 9-10-2006, 9:17 PM eat and sleep
misshayley 9-10-2006, 9:21 PM Eat and then sleep
vonnyb 9-10-2006, 10:13 PM Yup, eat and then sleep. I usually prefer leftovers on that day.
Tracy72 9-10-2006, 10:36 PM grab a bite befor returning home and pack it all to the bedroom and then just straighten up the house and then relax...no naps for me..Ialway have family in so no such luck in getting a nap
Go home and open all the goodies that my wife and I bought for ourselves and take the rest to grandma's house so my kids won't find theirs! :D
ms_mckenna 9-10-2006, 11:15 PM Stash the stuff in the closet and fall out. If I have enough energy we go ahead and go chop down our tree. But as I get older the energy thing is getting lower lol.
EliteABombAZ 9-10-2006, 11:30 PM Well... after BF shopping, usually hit Dennys or Ruby Tuesdays.
Christmas morning is different. We open presents... then I usually buy breakfast sandwhiches for everyone at Jack in the Box. Jack is one of the few places actually open on Christmas.
Right after BF shopping, I will be working 12-15 hours.
RossMAN 9-11-2006, 1:40 AM Eat then sleep.
Actually come to think of it, who needs sleep?
SHOP TILL YOU DROP ;)
knb080998 9-11-2006, 8:23 AM Will probably go out to eat. Then go home.
brynnfromtheblock 9-11-2006, 10:17 AM Eat and sleep
elena_398 9-11-2006, 11:04 AM I always get a coffee from McDonalds and head home. Unload/hide the items in the garage then go to bed. LOL
AuntJamelle 9-11-2006, 12:38 PM I run to hide the presents I've purchased for DH.
Then I collapse on the couch with DH and zone out by watching TV for a while.
Then I gather what energy I have left and get up to go through all of my purchases again - to remind myself what I've gotten. :D
This usually gets my energy level up again and I continue working on decorating the house for Christmas. (I usually start on Thanksgiving night or a couple days before)
JBKing 9-11-2006, 12:53 PM Meet DW and go somewhere to eat, then come home and start putting up Christmas lights outside. :holiday07
tyler99199 9-11-2006, 1:00 PM Ask wife for a foot massage from my long day in lines ;) J/K
I believe as everyone else has said get something to eat but no time to sleep. While eating I try to back track over my list and make sure I did not miss something. Sometimes go back to certain stores to see if something might have been returned I wanted or see something else I want
genoandkiddo 9-11-2006, 2:39 PM Sleep, then go to our parade of lights.
smangham 9-11-2006, 2:48 PM Go out to eat lunch somewhere really good, then come home and nap. I leave all the goodies in the trunk until everyone is gone and then I get everything out, update my lists of "need to buy" and start wrapping!:holiday03
krissy72 9-14-2006, 8:01 PM I go out to eat at Cracker Barrel then go home and try to take a nap.:smirk:
Tessangel 9-14-2006, 9:28 PM I have to go with everyone else. I eat then take a nap!
neice0510 9-15-2006, 3:21 PM I go with girlfriends of mine on BF. After shopping we go out to eat. And then go home to relieve our husbands from the kids. Usually don't get home till 3-4pm.
So no nap but I go to bed early and leave the unpacking the van till the next day, when the kids aren't around.
HIDE THE GIFTS!!
Then I usually relax and watch a holiday movie.
Melissa 9-16-2006, 9:29 PM HIDE THE GIFTS!!
Then I usually relax and watch a holiday movie.
Same here! :yup:
eat ...sleep.. and/or go out shopping more
starshine 9-17-2006, 9:59 AM Stash the goods and lay on the couch for about on hour.
darkkan 9-19-2006, 10:58 AM I usually come home around 3-4pm, eat a leftover plate of Thanksgiving food and get my sweet husband to rub my feet. We always decorate for Christmas that weekend, so we do that the next day.
krstee 9-19-2006, 11:20 AM Last year, I didn't go to bed after we got home from Thanksgiving at the in-laws, so I just showered and headed out to wait at Walmart (thank goodness this one was a 24-hr one and I could wait inside). After I finished all my shopping (I was by myself and DH was at home with our daughter), I came home and crashed for a few hours. After I got up, we went out and did some more shopping. DH hates crowds, so I am suprized he wanted to go on BF.
ShopperMom 9-19-2006, 1:33 PM Relieve Grandma from babysitting, them hope that the kids are tired so they will take a nap so we can too lol. Then we always put up our tree that night.
NeepNeep 9-20-2006, 4:07 AM Eat, then sleep. Sometimes sleeping while eating :eek:
motoXmom 9-20-2006, 7:02 AM Sleep, sleep, sleep!!
:gdyeahthat:
I'll usually grab something to eat inbetween stores, so when I get home I'm not hungry , just tired. I leave everything in the back of the Explorer and just make sure it's covered and lock the doors. With the dark windows and being covered no one can see what's back there.
berry1014 9-20-2006, 1:48 PM Eat, take a nap and then set up the Christmas Tree and decorate.
JazzMama 9-20-2006, 2:32 PM We usually stop for breakfast. Then, when I get home, I rest for a little bit. Then, it's nothing but holiday music and decorating for the rest of the weekend!
artesian 9-20-2006, 3:29 PM Always an hour nap for me and put up the tree in the afternoon.
msharpsteen 9-20-2006, 4:13 PM I head home and force hubby to play "guess how much I paid for this one?"-he claims to hate that game, but I love it!! Then I get so excited I usually head back out for more shopping, just in case I missed something or shelves were magically restocked....
momof2many 9-20-2006, 5:30 PM wrap gifts, sleep.
thmain 9-20-2006, 11:19 PM Look at all of the bargains I picked up, take a nap, and then go for lunch somewhere.
love2beurwifey 9-21-2006, 1:05 AM We go out to eat and then go home and I go through everything I have brought that day to make sure I did not miss anyone
mtallen 9-21-2006, 3:07 PM Eat, sleep, then watch Charlie Brown Christmas!!!:holiday08
My sil and I have been going together for the last few years, since we are visiting for thanksgiving. We go back to her house unload all the stuff while my husband takes the kids to grandma's. Then he and grandma come down to look at all the stuff we got. Dh usually tells me what I missed or should have bought more of--so sometimes we go back out.
Amy
stationchief 9-23-2006, 1:36 PM Ya head home to break the wrapping off all yer goodies, play with 'em for a few hours, then straight to bed for the rest of the day. :yawn: 8 hours in line can really wear ya out.
Well My friend & I drag everything into her van quickly so her kids don't happen by since they only live a couple blocks away. Then we drag all my stuff. After she leaves I go like a mad woman hiding stuff & the crash.
sigrist_2000 9-24-2006, 6:45 PM the next day or right after the sale hours?...cuz i shop all day long...i even go back the next day to the stores and shop some more...im a shop-aholic!
cactusmom 9-25-2006, 11:06 AM I usually drive back home to drop off stuff and by then hubby decides he would like to go back out with me to get more deals :rolleyes:
elena_398 9-25-2006, 11:07 AM Sometimes I go back out to stores I didn't have on my list. Depends on how tired I am. Usually though I try to get all my shopping done then go home and sleep
lucyismycat 9-25-2006, 11:14 AM I go home, drop all the stuff and usually by that time DH is up and around and has decided he wants to go somewhere. We'll head out again for a couple of hours and go out to dinner. That night I fiddle with the outside light timers (lights are up in mid-October, but not on until BF morning when I leave).
tootsieroll23 9-25-2006, 4:32 PM Right after, I go to the bathroom :tongue1: Then out to breakfast with DH and then home to take a nap. :)
teresa92 9-25-2006, 5:44 PM Eat lunch and then drive 1.5 hours back home trying not to fall asleep, lol.
This year, since we have learned we will not have overnight guests, I will pick up breakfast, go home wrap gifts, nap, and later visit family in town family that we didn't get to visit on Thanksgiving.
If family is going out to shop of course I will tag along. I am sure DH will play cards with family and friends as always.
Have lunch, take a nap!
This year will be the same, and then we'll go get the kids from MIL's.
Dizzy Devil 9-25-2006, 6:24 PM The kids sleep over at grandma's house after Thanksgiving dinner, so I usually have time and opportunity to hide the presents, then nap. So far we haven't camped out for anything yet, so we've always stopped for breakfast at about 4 AM at Denny's then made it to Wal-Mart in plenty of time for what we wanted...
arieslove 9-26-2006, 12:12 AM Sleep LOL then take over the kids from dh.
H_Hancock 9-26-2006, 6:30 AM It depends on what we were after at the stores. If we manage to obtain some of the nicer laptops, like the Toshiba from CC last year, or the el cheapo desktop from BB last year, the moment we get home, they're photographed and put up on ebay.....time's critical for them to hit.
Buying for ourselves, we play with our new toys, crash after a while.......
