That's awesome! I had everything ready to go as well, but I guess I didn't hit the submit button quite fast enough. LOL

The Oklahoma City Stockyards does a Cowboy Christmas Parade every year. Every year, I think "I just might get up and go to that this year", and every year I don't. Maybe I'll go this year. The grands would love it.

Isn't Groupon an online store? Or are you talking about the ones from Best Buy, mentioned above?

They let you get really excited when you can put it in your cart. Then as soon as you hit the submit button, they throw that pop up at you that says "This item is no longer available" .

They have 2 of the 4 games I need, cheaper than elsewhere. But I can't get there by 4:00 and I don't think I want to take that chance. Still hoping I can get them online at Target or Walmart and not have to worry about it.

It was there. Then it was gone.

My spreadsheet is filling in with tracking numbers. That's great! On the other hand, every time I get a new tracking number it reminds me how behind I am in my own SS shopping.

Well, I guess I get it, but that's some bull.

They always have a very small Black Friday ad.

last year, I waited until Friday afternoon to decide I wanted the batteries from HD. Looked at the 3 stores in my area online, only one had any left, but I was able to buy 3 packages online and pick them up in store. Needless to say, I overestimated my need for AA batteries and still have a lot left, LOL, but the point is you shouldn't have any trouble getting them.

Well, I can't help you with the shopping with Mama, but I can try to set your mind at ease about the boy getting hurt. Those little 6 volt ride ons don't go very fast. As long as he has room to ride, he'll be fine .

I'm sorry, we would really need you to have more history on the site. But please stick around and join the conversations, and we would love to have you join next year.

Some of it just looks like Target, while other parts look very Mall anchor store-y.

Have you checked out the charts StationChief does? It might be an easier way to see what you're looking for. http://blackfridaycharts.com/

And never forget to remove any evidence it's being re-gifted. I once received a gift with an old to/from sticker on the bottom. It wasn't a re-gift though, it was actually something my mom had picked up at a garage sale.

I have one more - It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Nothing comes up in search for pool, pool table, or billiard. Are you sure it was a pool table you saw?

I'm pretty sure it's an autocorrect, but I can't for the life of me figure out what "dads" was supposed to be. Or, maybe it's not an autocorrect and it's a thing, and I'm just old. LOL

The first year Walmart had the 3 "events", but you had to be in line before event 2 in order to get in on the sale for event 3 (God, what a PITA that was!), I remember getting a book from the shelf to read while in line. My sister was in a different line, and everyone was too cranky to make small talk. I hated that year. LOL

Thanks so much! And, congrats to all the other winners!

As for caffeine, we usually start our trek at Sonic. There are a couple 24 hour Sonics that are out of the way but we go around that way to stop there. In line, we have each other, and we always end up chatting with those around us. Not as much as we used to, when we stood outside in the cold for hours. We always left those days feeling like we had new friends.

I'll be there, but I may be tuned in with just 1 eye and half an ear. LOL. OU plays at 7:00 tonight.

A question has been asked about homemade gifts. I read the question about homemade gifts on the list to be about cookies and candies, stuff like that. But do you think it also applies to things like ceramics, or woodworkings? Tapestries, pottery, crafty creative things? If you said NO on the homemade gifts question, would you still be open to things like that? Just reaching out for opinions. FWIW, my opinion is I would LOVE to get something handmade.
