Don't know about the others, but my nephew loaded up pretty good on the turkey, ham, and stuffing...

Got that right. My family just left for the mall. I can imagine what kind of nightmare that will be right now.

I got back @ 6:45 am. The gilroy outlet wasn't that bad.......the line for Puma was crazy though :beaten: :beaten: :beaten:

I didn't get anything at Polo but got me a nice puffy jacket from Nike. Waited in line for about 2 hrs just to pay for it.

After clothes shopping we went to Fry's where I didn't even get a chance to look at the camera selection, but Uncle Kenny said its just better to get the camera he got off some online site.....
Leaving Fry's, there was this group of kids that just happen to run by the car.
It was unexpected especially since it was like 7 kids beating up 1 kid..... :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

wish that one of my uncles or aunt knows how to shop yesasia.
Last year we kids were told to write down what we wanted. I wrote down stuff I saw off Yesasia, I even wrote down that it can be bought from yesasia, but uncles and aunts didn't bother to deal with that and they ended up giving me a $100 gift card to target :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

i see. You're going to start Christmas shopping early? or just do it all online still to avoid going to a crowded mall?

if i am not mistaken, it is THE busiest shopping day of the year.....even more than xmas time.

It's one of the few days off from work us Americans get. And it's close to Christmas. Excellent time to go buy presents. Only problem is.... most everybody in the country feels that way.

On the up side though, everyone is happy and courteous because of the Holiday Season. Traffic, although crowded, is friendly. The packed stores are all full of happy people. It's a nice time. :)
