It’s Black Friday!  There was a time when thanksgiving was about being thankful and appreciative of others.  There was a time when Christmas was about giving.  Unfortunately, every major holiday has turned into an excuse to shop and have sales.  I can’t believe how big Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become.  My plan is to not go shopping this weekend at all and spend it with my family.  What about you?
