Post 'em if you got 'em.

The fam and close relatives (20 people in all) are all coming over to the 'rents house to stuff our faces, watch football and play Bingo to win junk from my grandparent's basement. We also lay down plans for who is going to camp out and what store for which BF deal. I am crossing my fingers someone makes a to-die-for apple pie this year. Sometimes my aunts are lazy get get store bought stuff. Blah.

My family of about 30 all gather to stuff our faces, then later I go to sleep, wake up late Friday morning and laugh at all the morons who waited outside of stores at 2 in the morning while I do all of my shopping on the internet and pay the same price those people did and do it without wearing pants.

Well, I guess you could go shopping in a store without wearing pants. Probably more fun that way, but it might be a bit cold.

Everyone of age goes to a friend of the families bar and gets wasted on Wednesday. Thursday everyone gathers, drinks, and eats appetizers. We bet on how much the lions are going to lose by. Eat food. Have some scotch and smoke cigars. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

I wake up at noon to the sounds of the rest of my family slaving away downstairs making food for dinner. I meander downstairs and make a small breakfast while my mom and sister make more food for dinner. I head back upstairs to eat my breakfast since there isn't any room in the dining room or kitchen. I then shower down and get ready to eat some more. I set the table for dinner, then sit down and wait for everyone else to sit so I can start eating. Then we feast.

Then I go back to sleep while everyone else manages the dirty dishes and clears the table.

... then everyone leaves. In the past, we'd scout out deals in the Black Friday ads, but this year they suck so I'm not going to waste my time ...
