Thanksgiving 2

For years I've been faking it. I've been pretending to know.. I'm talking about Thanksgiving. We hit it pretty darn close. In the last two years we pretty much copied everything I saw when I went to a real legit thanksgiving last Thursday. I joined my roommate and went to her grandma's place to have a serious family party with little kids and babies and stuff. And lots of food! It was amazing. The turkey was huge and there were so many other things as side dishes. And since we went there at 1 in the afternoon and left at like 8 or 9 at night we ate about 3 or 4 rounds of food. All in all, I don't think I've eaten that much in a day in a while. 

That evening we decided the night couldn't be over so my roommate, her brothers, and I went to a really cool bad. Late at night, around midnight, we got home and happy black Friday! For those that don't know, black Friday is a huge sale all over the US with stores selling awesome stuff for a fraction of the price. This year, at Walmart it started at midnight and electronics at 5 am. Target it started at 4am. Other places also at 5 am and 6am. So, of course, people started lining up at 6pm the previous day. When we were driving home from the dinner we drove past some of them and spoke to a guy who all in all waited for 12 hours.... outside in the cold....

So we drove to Walmart at 2am and encountered people who were so exhausted from waiting and the cold that they were like zombies, strolling around and sitting on the floor. Some people had to wait another 3 hours for the electronics sale... why would you do that to yourself? But anyway, Walmart was handing out 5 hour energy drinks and so when we got one, shared it and only had a little each, we were so energized that I barely know how we got from one side of the store to the other without running over people...

It was all a great experience, and the stories about people dying in stampedes and stuff, I totally get it now.
