Christmas was wonderful. I had a great couple days spending time at Grandmas and at mom and dads. Got to see some relatives and cute little cousins. On Christmas morning at Mom and Dads was fun. We all sat around in our pj's and opened presents. I got want I wanted, a new suitcase that could be carry on luggage, and some other fun things. Justin had to fly out the next morning at 6am and I also had to work at that time so we had to leave Christmas evening. Justin got to the airport on time and I got to work on time...always good. Now I knew that the day after Christmas thing was big for bargain shoppers but I was not prepared for what I was about to see. The store opened up at 7am, at 6:30 people started gathering around the door. By 7, there was a crowd so large that it stretched into the parking lot. When the door opened, people ran into the store, grabbed a cart and either ran to the back seasonal area or the mini seasonal area up front. People were so frantic to get to their precious 50% off items that they wouldn't look where they were going, some guy almost mowed me over with his cart. They all had this crazed look in their eyes. When I walked to the back of the store there was this huge wall of people were seasonal should have been. People were just grabbing and throwing stuff into the carts, some people had two carts. After about two hours, I started finding piles of stuff that people had put in their carts then decided not to take, so they just either layed it on the floor or on some shelf. Since this day was a Sunday, all Fargo business's can't open until noon, so not only were we getting the regular crazies, we were getting the Fargo one's also.
Ugh, that was a horrid day. By the end of the day I was totally wiped out and I had a huge headache. I'm just glad I didn't close and have to pick up after everybody.

Heh heh, I can say nothing ill about crazed post-Christmas morning shoppers! But it was rather rude of them to chuck stuff around. Why can't Fargo's open up until noon?
