Do
you eat breakfast on Thanksgiving?
Ginarella is curious if you eat breakfast on
Thanksgiving Day. It's an interesting question and the answers
are quite varied. Some breakfasts sound pretty delicious, (Legally
Brunette) even to this non-breakfast eater.
Where
will you be shopping at on Black Friday?
Post your answer in this poll, and let a Chatter in on any good
secrets you might have. awaflyboy is looking

I'll be thinking of you all while I am sleeping in this Friday!
