Happy (somewhat belated) Thanksgiving, everyone! It's really nice to have spent this one at home. Also, my uncles and grandfather came to Thanksgiving at home for the first time in 35 years! Deer season falls over Thanksgiving, so they're always up at deer camp at this time. This year, they came down for the day. It was also the first time I'd seen one of my uncles since I'd gotten back from being abroad. I hadn't seen him or his family in well over a year.
Yesterday, Mom, Weston and I went out shopping. That was a bad idea. I only went because there were good deals on yarn and my mom refused to pick up any if I didn't come. Firstly, my mom doesn't like to plan out what she wants to get at each store, so she just ambles around, in everyone's way. Secondly, my brother likes to whine. A lot. And he doesn't like making stops for anyone else, so if we go somewhere where he doesn't want to be, he pitches a fit. Thirdly, there were WAY too many people for my taste. I like shopping in the middle of the day during the week, when there's no one around. But, it was the first time I had ever gone shopping on the day after Thanksgiving, and now I have experiences one of our more repulsive traditions, and I got yarn, so, whatever. We survived. Plus, we went to Kroll's for hamburgers, which is a Green Bay classic.
Today, I'm going to finish up my paper and then put up the Christmas tree. Thanksgiving's over, so Christmas can begin in all its tacky glory!
