My daughter has been wearing the same clothes for two years...

23. When I was in HS my mom and I went shopping on T-giving.

It was the late 60s and just 1 or 2 stores were open till 5 pm and we'd be gone about 2 hours in the afternoon. Because it was such a novelty at the time I remember it well. Two years later, I was in college and I worked at one of those stores. I was glad for the hours and the family ate Thanksgiving dinner instead of at noon time, just to work around my schedule. Now I'm happy to stay home and let the craziness of the late night shopping crowds to others. I'm hoping there are workers out there who feel the same way and want a paycheck, who can still celebrate with family another time. My son worked at Blockbuster while in college, every holiday, and we just dealt with it. It was a nuisance, however.

I would never look down on anyone wanting to find a bargain and make their dollars stretch. I hope you find many that day and that you can fulfill your family's needs.
