Times have changed since Thanksgivings of yore.
I want to dedicate this article to my Grandparents, Mary and John May. This was grandma’s favorite holiday and I have very fond memories of how she and Grandpa gathered the family for many a beautiful and memorable Thanksgivings. There was always a photographer to capture the event! Love you and miss you both! I’m thankful for so many things but lately I am really thankful for growing up in a time when the holidays were a focused on tradition of family, friends, laughter and love. With the holidays now being sponsored by the biggest and most popular retailers, I get a little sick to my stomach. I’m sad for my children and try my hardest to shield them from what has become of the holidays. I know I sound like a really bitter person. I swear…

Thanksgiving may be the great feast day, but for many, it’s the day after that has moms celebrating. Black Friday carries the anticipation of getting out to Walmart or the Sprayberry Square Shopping Center in order to knock out your entire Christmas list cheaply and efficiently in one day.

Gather all the pertinent information you need to effectively shop. Who needs a gift? What are their preferences? Where do they shop? 2.

Walmart customers are pleased with the sales and friendly crowds.
Stores traditionally open their doors just before dawn to greet the Black Friday crowds searching for amazing deals, but this year the bargains began Thanksgiving night. A Black Friday stampede at a Walmart store opening at 5 a.m. two years ago killed a seasoned employee. This year, the nation's biggest retailer did things quite differently, and many Northeast Cobb customers noted how smoothly the process went. Special sales began at midnight, but patrons arrived as early as 10 p.m. to plan their shopping route once midnight hit. Many researched the sale items online first, so they knew what they wanted to hunt down. Several shoppers said they went to Toys "R" Us first, but when they saw the line wrapping around the building, they decided…
