Holiday fun

The morning after Thanksgiving, per my tradition, I'm headed out to the King of Prussia mall! Anyone want to go with me?

Christmas Eve, I'm thinking of driving out to Atlantic City and spending a couple of hours at a casino or two! Anyone want to go with me?

New Years Eve, They Might Be Giants are playing two concerts in Philly! The first will probably leave you enough time to get to a New Years party elsewhere in the city, and the second is through midnight and New Years itself. I'm not sure which I'm going to, or maybe even both; but probably just the first. Anyone want to go with me?

I generally don't (ergo while I'll be watching the inauguration from the comfort of my living room rather than in person), but my desire to purchase really good presents at really low prices might trump my general misanthropy.

If you aren't into really insane crowds of really insane people all being pushy and obnoxious, then the awesome deals probably won't be worth it. Also, you have to be good at being obnoxious and pushy back, if there's something you really want to get your hands on and someone's in the way. People tend to stand around like idiot deers in idiot lights and it becomes this insane obstacle course of wide-eyed idiots to get to anything.

Now that all sounds horrible, but it's terribly amusing and kind of fun, if it's your thing.

If you're just going out for the deals, I'd recommend not going. I absolutely guarantee there will be more really awesome deals between Black Friday and Christmas. Also, online shopping is awesome. I about wore out my Amazon Prime membership the last few weeks on awesome deals from Amazon. My shopping is done.
