THE DAY AFTER

The day after what?  The day after Thanksgiving that's what.  The day everyone is up bright and early to stand in line for an hour or two waiting for the doors of the all the stores that have the best deals, if you can get to them, of appliances, toys, clothes or whatever else you are looking for to make someone's Christmas extra special.  People must like the pushing and shoving during this time because year after year they show up,  They get the newspapers the day before and plan their moves along with partners of as many as six people who will dash and get items for each other and meet at a designated location within that store just to make sure they  got everything they went for.

Then there is the problem as to how to get it all in the car or van.  Some time two or three vehicles are needed to carry the haul.  Once the cars or vans are loaded the question is, is there enough room for the shoppers.  Room is usually made to accommodate all shoppers in the group.

It is now time for refreshment of either breakfast and coffee or lunch at their favorite bar and grill.  After this it is home to hide their goodies to be wrapped at a later time, and time for the shoppers to sneak off to bed for a well earned nap.
