I got to have dinner at my mom's and then took off just before pie (she's saving me a piece) and arrived at work in time to fill a plate from the office potluck. Officially, we have two potlucks, one around noon for the dayshifters and one around 10pm for the rest of us. In practical terms, we have one potluck, we just put the meat and any very perishable foods in the fridge and people can pull them out as needed to fill plates.
I definitely avoid stores over Black Friday, though, and I avoid malls for the entire month of December if I can. I made sure I had enough food to last me through the work week (I work weekends) so I won't need to set foot in them until the madness is over. I'm definitely an online shopper. Amazon & Thinkgeek.com are both running sales online and I've already done 95% of my Christmas shopping.
