Day 1 was yesterday, so I'll briefly discuss our traditions. For as long as I can remember, we've gone to a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service.
When I was little, I was holding my candle, minding my own business, singing Silent Night, and looking at the old lady with purple hair (no lie, she really had purple hair) when candle wax fell on my hand and burned me. For YEARS, I would not hold the candle and force my mom to hold mine. I honestly think I was in high school when I finally held my own candle. Even now, I hold it very still and watch it the entire time.
In summary, I'm a wuss.
Moving on.
Day 2: Black Friday/General Shopping Tips & Tricks
I think I'm alone in stating this, but the idea of getting up at 3am when it's 20 degrees outside sounds totally dreadful. I'm not a morning person, nor do I like the cold. Surely this will all change if the Lord blesses me with children, but for now, I'm more of a Cyber Monday kind of gal.
Amazon.com is my best friend during Christmas.
Why deal with this:
When you can be in your pj's or work clothes for that matter and shop to your heart's content.
Also, I try to make a list of what I'm buying for people so that I make sure to get an even amount for everyone. I'm all about fairness people.

Actually that's a random picture, haha. We go to First Methodist usually, even though we're Baptist. Shh. :)

Black Friday isn't usually for me. But if I can get a few gifts knocked out by 6am and then BACK in bed, sign me up!
I'm all about black friday shopping, but I definitely don't blame people for not being all about it!
