Thanksgiving

Wed: Mom & I went to the 1st showing of Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes of Grindelwald. It was really good! Although there were many plot threads, and the writing/editing didn't seem as tight as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, this chapter of the 5-part series was very exciting & emotional, w/ some great light moments w/in the darker story. I love the characters & creatures, and I can't wait for more! (That cliffhanger!!)

Thurs: Since R & M are coming for Xmas instead of Thanksgiving, we didn't do anything special for Thanksgiving this year. Just went to the Chinese buffet w/ Dad for lunch. They served turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy, & yams, but no stuffing. Pretty good food; improved w/ new ownership.

 Love this lit peacock holiday decor!

 

Before 4pm, Mom and I went to Wal-Mart to wait for their "Black Friday" event. They served Keurig coffee or hot cocoa & Xmas sugar cookies. We browsed and found some really pretty, sparkly champagne flats on sale for $5! We read some celeb magazines. Then at around 5:15pm, we went to the DVD section (dairy) to wait and found out that the line already went all along the refrigerated section! Around 5:45pm, they started letting groups of shoppers into the DVD section. Thankfully they hadn't run out of Wonder Woman and Justice League Blu-rays by the time we got there ($5 & $6 each). But then we had to get into the check-out line, and it was soo long, like more than halfway across the store, past the shoe section. The cashiers had to wait for 6pm to start checking out people's items at the Black Friday sale prices. After 6, we waited another 20 min. or so and checked out.

When we got home, I found out that Amazon had the WW Blu-ray on sale for just $4! So I ordered that for M's Xmas present (will return the Wal-Mart one later). JL was the same price, so I kept that one as my Xmas present from Mom. ^^
