What are you doing for Thanksgiving/Black Friday/cyber Monday?

sohmageek thought this was worth mentioning said Fri, Nov 13th 2015 at 6:16pm ET

Just putting it out there. What do you do? Are you one of the ones that stands in line all thanksgiving. Or do you leisurely stroll into a store to pick up what's left by the rest of the mob? Or do you stay home? What are you doing for thanksgiving. I'll post mine after the break(and I'm at a computer. Not typing it all up on a phone.)

Stay home and eat while thinking back to the good times we all had in the forums last Thanksgiving.

Most likely cleaning up whatever is left at work. November 30 will be our final day.

- @narfcake I'm so sorry. Is it planned or did they give you notice (or is it your own business?)

- @sohmageek , but indirectly, it was unplanned. My boss, whom I've known for almost 23 years, unexpectedly passed away in September.

I'm going to spend Thanksgiving with my best friend's family, I'm doing to work on Black Friday since they're actually running the trains this year, and Cyber Monday is a thing I pretend isn't real.

I have Wednesday off, and may do light Thanksgiving prep shopping and/or get new tires on the car (its my first weekday off for a chance of that). Also sending last minute tweets and contact emails to walmart and all the other retail turds who are stealing Thanksgiving from their employees by opening on Thanksgiving day.

Thanksgiving day, home, just me and my wife this year but doing the whole Thanksgiving spread on a small scale. Friday, likely home. I have no dislike for Black Friday, just don't like the crowds. Sometimes Menards has a cool deal going that its worth trying for...

Cyber Monday I would partake in but unfortunately it tends to be a stupid busy day at work.

Chores in the morning, Husker football in the afternoon, chores before dinner, then last plate of leftovers.

Thanksgiving - dinner with the inlaws, then dinner at the other inlaws.
BF - keeping my stuffed ass in bed and away from the crowds.

Thanksgiving - business as usual (i.e. nothing special).

Black Friday - I have reserved seats to the balcony of our local movie theatre, so my happy ass will be watching the ever-lovin'-shit out of the last Hunger Games movie; like every other self-respecting adult should be.

For reference: My excitement level for this is only a couple notches below where it was when I watched our beloved Royals win the World Series this year. (i.e. exploding with giddiness!)

I gradually Christmas shop all year, so my gift shopping is actually finished. Thanksgiving will be spent with my mother, my nephews and their SOs.

I just moved back closer to family (1500 miles closer...) so my wife, son, and I actually get to spend Thanksgiving with family!

The downside is there aren't many stores close by - we would have to go well out of town to find anything other than Walmart.

I really wanted to get a laptop from Bestbuy for my wife, then I realized how far away we'll be from Bestbuy that night. Oh well.

Hopefully have a better day than last year (family drama, a daughter-in-law shook Brian's mom a few days before Thanksgiving....lots and lots of tension on how to approach his brother with what his brother's wife had done to their mom).

I'll be shoving some turkey in my face hole. Not sure where yet, unfortunately I believe at my in-laws. I don't do the black Friday thing, sleep is my friend.

Going out with family to enjoy some Black Friday shopping- not particularly early, and not really with any items in mind. Nice to wander around, see things, get samples, buy some gifts, and then get breakfast.

Eating. Sleeping. Family. Football. Fantasy football. Couch potato mastery. Shopping from my phone. Dessert. Leftivers. Touch football? Jogging? Housecleaning. Rinse and repeat.

Some amount of exercise is theoretically possible but unlikely.
