Amen to that. I did it for too many years, and it really did ruin Christmas for me. It's definitely the most hostile time of the year....

I saw the news reports this morning from TRU, and all I could think was these people are nuts for getting up that early, in the cold, and waiting in line at 4:00am to get an Easy Bake Oven for 9.99 (or some other toy that was a doorbuster sale). Ever tell your kid NO?

and a bigger pox on KMart and the other stores that opened on Thanksgiving
