To those who celebrate it today. ^_^ I had a nice selection of stuff picked up from Whole Foods (the mashed potatoes were particularly tasty) for a mid-day meal (around 3 pm), with leftovers that night. I had thought of going to a nearby restaurant for a fair inexpensive turkey meal, but I saw a pretty good line when we walked past it so I'm glad I didn't go that route. Eating at home is much more relaxing, anyhow. My mom and I walked over to the nearest hotel and wandered through the grounds, having fun looking at the various birds and fish (flamingoes and penguins!). Then we saw a very lovely sunset over the beach. I *really* wished I had a camera right then. There were some wispy clouds in front of the sun that made it so picture perfect. It's so easy to forget the splendid yet free things you can experience right in your own backyard (or nearly so). I only had to pay for the (totally overpriced) tea. XD;
I'm also contemplating checking out the sales in the stores tomorrow. I've never bothered before because I'm laaaazy, but for some reason this year I am very motivated. Maybe the proximity to some major shopping is affecting me....I wish I needed a TV, though. They have some *great* deals on them. I already got mine. :(
