Thanksgiving 2009 SELF-SERVICE Rally

KOHL"S???  Walmart  for the full experience!

that's just were I start..al the biggies (except Wal-mart) are right there by the campground

Since you want the "Full experience" I should let you know that Wal*Mart is totaly rethinking how it is going to do the "Black Friday" event this year!

 At least this is what will happen at my store this year! Now mind you, I had to watch a two and a half video on what crowd control measures will take place company wide this year.
Just like big sporting events or Disneyland, The lines will be orderely and controled! No more rushing the front doors at 4:00 am. In fact at my store this year we will be open 24 hours prior to the sale! It will be heavily staged with people from the police dept, the fire deptartment and others hired just for this event.
 I don't have the info yet about what items will be on sale for the Big Event but you know that the Black Fridays are but a few weeks away!

I'm not a Black Friday person. I hate rude people--especially crowds of them--and don't want to deal with them at 4:30 a.m. on my day off! :morning:
 
The only exception to my personal boycott of Black Friday is last year--I found an awesome deal on Dave's electric scooter and knew it would be the only way I would be able to buy it for him without him guessing my surprise before Christmas. It must have loooked pretty comical to see me with my roof down, in a drizzling mist, trying to shove a huge electric scooter box singlehandedly into the back of my car at 5:00 a.m. (Apparently, people don't help other people in need on Black Friday--confirms my original thoughts about the whole thing). The good news is that the surprise worked, so my one and only Black Friday escapade was worth it--but only once and only for my boy.

Any big plans for this rally??  Besides eating?

[griffsmom]

I was thinking we could celebrate Kurtis's birthday  since his parents forgot it on Nov. 1st. :p
 
Seriously, who's going to be at the CG for Thanksgiving dinner? If there are enough of us, should we do a potluck Thanksgiving dinner?

I've moved my family thing to 1-ish...I figure I'd be at the campground by 4pm

so I may be there but we surely won't be eating

if there is a movie out that weekend Cinema city has $5 before noon and $6 before 6pm tickets I also have coupons from their website buy any size drink get a free popcorn (it's like a lunch bag).

did we want to do any meals together? like Friday nite Costco pizza and maybe Saturday nite we bring our own burgers and each of us do a side?

my plan is to relax, chill with my peeps and recharge myself for the weeks ahead..gee maybe I can get that scarf done...LOL

just throwin out ideas...all I know is I'm pretty much doing nothing..I know I will probably be brining some pumpkin pie. The kids always say we have to make it for tradition sake but they don't eat it.

[OC Campers]

How do you brine a pumpkin pie?  I thought you only did that with turkey.  j/k.  It appears you pulled a Dieter:p:D
