Did you know that Thanksgiving didn't become an official national holiday until more than 200 years later, when in 1863 President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday of November a national day of thanksgiving.
Did you know that Black Friday -- the day after Thanksgiving, which is widely touted as the biggest Christmas shopping day in America -- is actually not the biggest shopping day? In fact, the Saturday before Christmas has historically been the largest volume shopping day. Black Thursday ranks anywhere from second to fifth in Christmas shopping days.
I encourage everyone to spend their holiday with the people you love and that love you; remembering that there is a reason we celebrate this day.
This Friday I'll be posting some of my Christmas Gifts I'm making. There a little more modern and fun than what most think of when they hear "handmade Christmas gifts". Every year that I make my gifts by hand, everyone loves them. Hopefully this year will be the same. It's just another way to simplify life without all the of hassle the mall, See ya on Friday!
(note: I do go to the mall frequently....so no judgement)
