    Sound to sleep with “lots of sugar plums dancing in my head” about the time these people hit the stores! Oh I do remember when my children were little and u had to stand in line to get the “ONLY THING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD I EVER WANT” off their Christmas list!…Wish we had internet back then!

    Not a few minutes after Walmart in Ensley started their sales there was a fight between two women over a leap frog system. An ambulance was called for the injuries. Just goes to show you..you can’t fix stupid.

    Black Friday? No thank you.

    Cyber Monday? That’s more like it!

    agree with julia w. i would like to make it through the holidays,lol.i shop online where the deals are just as good and the time is less spent fighting with someone about a gift.
