Black Friday
Twas the day after Thanksgiving,
and all through the mall,
lots of crazies were stirring,
the big and the small.
The decorations were hung
throughout the mall with some care,
but wasn’t these snowflakes
up before Halloween?

Well aside from the bad poetry, today is the official start of the Christmas shopping season. It was the day that, traditionally, retailers accounting books went from “red” to “black.” And while that’s not really true anymore its still a big day for retailers. And bargain hunters.

So good luck and great “sale-ing.”

President Bush officially pardoned the Whitehouse Thanksgiving turkeys – May and Flower – on Tuesday. 

The turkeys, whose names were chosen in an online poll, will be flown to Florida where they will appear as the Grand Marshalls in the Disney World Thanksgiving Day parade.

The festivities were held Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2007, in the Rose Garden of the White House.  And May and Flower will live the rest of their natural lives in Disney World.
