Do I Have Time For A Turkey Sandwich Before I Grab My Credit Card

      The Turkey is a carcass of it'self, the sweet potatoes have turned into an orange blob, aluminum foil is scattered everywhere and the belts have been let out a notch.  Thanksgiving has come and gone but wait, no one can retire with the remote because the stores open in a couple of hours. Tough competition has lead retailers to open earlier than even,  herding shoppers into their stores on Thanksgiving night.  The days of marathon Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving is slowly turning into Turkey Sandwich Thursday.  Do we really have to skip Thanksgiving desert just so we can get $300 off on a TV that's so big it won't even fit in the car?
     It had been almost 25 years since I had fought the crowds in the early morning hours the day after Thanksgiving but for some stupid reason and I do mean stupid, I decided to to be at Walmart's front door Thanksgiving night.  Surly  everyone would be  home with turkey sandwich in one hand and the remote in the other hand.  After completing a 230 mile round trip to send two hours with family on Thanksgiving day I made a 60 mile round trip just so I could save $50 on a Blue ray DVD player.  Did I mention this was a stupid ideal?  Please excuse my candor and grammar when I tell you Walmart was a F-ing nightmare, parking was GD impossible, the crowd was so loud I couldn't even hear myself fart,  Oh that turkey and dressing was good!  Thought I was prepared for shopping battle.  I had made a list of ever door buster item and had a store map showing the store location of every item.  Not only did I have a paper list but the list was digitized to my phone, God forbid I lost the paper list..  I said I was prepared but the sight of my enemy was more frightening than you can imagine.  I left the store five minuted after entry empty handed  saying to my self "to heck with this BS, I don't need to save $50 that bad".  If retail stores had their way we would all be eating our Thanksgiving meal in the car as we were trying to find a parking spot.  Next year I'm staying home on Thanksgiving night, the remote in one hand and a turkey sandwich in the other

 hand.
