Happy Healthy Families

So the Halloween decorations are down and packed away. The cheery warm Thanksgiving wreath is now on the door, and pinecones are sitting in a basket on my dining room table. I love the Fall colors and decorations, but secretly my mind is racing past Turkey Day and onto the most awesome shopping day of the year...Black Friday!

This year, in keeping with my new found sense of saving money, I am planning my Christmas shopping list early and am strongly committed to sticking to my budget. I have found a great Black Friday shopping site that I will be making great use of. They post black friday ads from just about every store you can think of, plus I will be getting email alerts every time new Black Friday ads are posted.

I am especially eager to get some stuff from Toys R Us for my kids. Once I get my kids Christmas presents pretty much done, it makes the rest of my shopping easier. And I know Toys R Us will be offering some hot deals for Black Friday.

But of course the best part about is that I can shop online on Black Friday for the best deals without leaving home. This is a very good thing. I can sit in my fuzzy robe with leftover pumpkin pie (Hey--it's the holidays...time to splurge on calories, right?) and score on Holiday gifts that will keep my budget intact. What a great way to spend the day after Thanskgiving!
