The past several years (since the kids are older and I don't have to shop for all those toy bargains) I have been able to shop at Walmart here in town and I just go by myself. One year I even sent Larry and Craig. Larry DID NOT enjoy it at all.
So this morning at midnight I was standing in line at the local Walmart waiting to check out. I do not really need any of the electronics so I did not need to get back out at 5 this morning.
Anyway on the way back home up the ridge, I saw the most beautiful falling star I have ever seen. It seemed so close and the star looked bright green with a white tail as it fell. It all seemed to be in slow motion. I immediately thanked the Good Lord for allowing me to see such a beautiful sight. What a great day to end a Thanksgiving day.
As for today, I am going to complete my decorating for Christmas, finish picking up the house, and then hit the sewing room. I have a couple of things I want to make the kids to decorate their homes and I have a couple of Christmas wall hangings to finish.
Just a snippet to show what I worked on yesterday.
The small stockings on top are for the cats. I didn't tell them I was making them and I knew Becca would get a kick out of them.
These were for Kelsey's dogs (mini pins). She didn't know I was making them either. I think she got a kick out of it too. It is fun to surprise them. Well, I'm off to bed.
Happy snipping, stitching, and quilting!
I can't even imagine shopping that early in the morning or should I say that late at night :) not for me, I have never gone shopping on Black Friday in the wee hours of the morning. Sounds like you had a nice site though with the star. I doubt I will get my holiday stuff out until the 1st of the month at the earliest - otherwise I start to get too tired of it.

You were really blessed with that star. Isn't God good to us? I need to pick up my house, too and shake a whole lot of stuff out of it before I set it back down.
