Black Friday

THANKSGIVING! This is the second most exciting upcoming event next to Laundry!, which will always top the charts on the feeling of excitement. Oh and in case you think that's a typo above but you should know its a real fact that you actually have to follow the word "Laundry" with a "!". Anyway, to show my excitement for Thanksgiving this year I decided to make a quick bar graph depicting some of my favorite things next to my excitement for this upcoming holiday. (Its important to note that this graph is measured in "fun units" aka units of fun, enjoyment, etc.)

As you can see, Thanksgiving is very high in my book. Especially because Cheez-its and Skiing define my existence, anything that even comes close is quite exciting. (Yes! My goal to use the word 'quite' in a post.... check!)

Even though Thanksgiving, itself, offers many great opportunities for awesome....ness... It's actually the next day that I would like to focus on. The much more spontaneous and exciting (and deadly) Black Friday! We all know its the one day of the year with extreme discounts for the upcoming Christmas season. This whole idea is fantastic! Gather together hundreds of thrifty (and usually well-mannered) adults and race them with no rules and promises of discounts! Well... maybe not all that fantastic.

But recently I've noticed that there are a few things that are not discounted on Black Friday. Some of these are: Airplane tickets, tuition, taxes, my phone bill, speeding tickets, and of course, Babies. That frustrates me actually! I think that having a baby should be cheaper if you are able to hit that little window! Just surprise the people and tell them, "In honor of the upcoming Christmas season, this baby will be 50% off the usual price." Babies are expensive, ok?

The only problem would be when people started to catch on and started to do the math and aim for Black Friday for the baby's due date. "The rest of the year contains 40% of new births, and then the weeks around Thanksgiving has the other 60%. We had to kick out some cancer patients and one man who fell off some scaffolding to make room for the influx of babies last year" Dr McAwesome will say. (***Note: Dr McAwesome is not real. He did not actually or will ever say this, probably. Do not try to find him. Or send him hundreds of Hoops and Yoyo singing cards to 12563 Strawberry Hill Ave, Stamford, CT 06902)

Despite this little issue that may arise. I think its a great idea!

Also as an announcement. The votes have been counted and the holiday we will be celebrating is on January 3rd - festival of sleep day! Bring your pillow, teddy bear, blanket, etc and don't get out of bed all day! Looking forward to it! (Also, Cassie wins the prize for most persuasive argument. She will be recieving her own complimentary "Puddingwife" Dental Floss! Congrats Cassie!)

Go America!
