Connor and I were up and out early to be at Freddy’s by the time the doors opened. When we got there, it was clear we weren’t in the first hundred customers (who received free gift cards) as the line wrapped around until the two entrance lines intermingled. The store was packed and difficult to navigate, especially since so many people took full sized carts into the electronics area, but everyone was polite—friendly even.
We left from there and headed to Walmart. I found a lot of low-priced movies, but not a lot of employees. There was only one check lane (and no self-checkouts) open when we were ready to go despite there being about twelve people in line. My guess is that they had a light schedule to dealing with needing a larger staff last night.
We returned to Freddy’s and met up with Janelle and Rowen. Janelle had a few things for us to get before she had to work. We headed home soon after. However, we went back one more time at Janelle’s request to have the boys pick out LEGOs that they wanted for Christmas.
All told, as we didn’t have any major purchases this year, I think we spent less than we have the past few years, but I still had fun.
