This was the line in front of our nearest Best Buy at 5:40 a.m. this morning, and it stretched all the way around the far corner of the building, down the side, and around another corner into the side parking lot... we kept driving and went to Home Depot instead for a tree.
Pictures of the tree will be put up after we put it together. A $179 tree for $79 and a coupon for a $30 HD gift card - sweet! Only problem? The box was too big for our little Saturn. We managed to squeeze it into the back seat - no way it could get into the trunk in any direction - but it was longer than the car is wide... so the drivers side door wouldn't close! What to do? Run back inside the store for a $4 pair of bungee chords: crack the back window, hook one bungee onto the clothes hanger hook, loop it around the top of the window, connect the other bungee, hook it into the child seat hook behind the back seat, and drive home via the back roads - no problem!

Good job. Can't wait to see the CHRIST-x Tree all decorated. :)
How were the family trees, the and the inverted ones selling?
Now there's dedication for you! By the way, just for the benefit of future readers - "Black Friday" is the day of the year when the sales are usually high enough to get the books from 'Red' back to 'Black' for the year. (You probably already know that being an almost accounting major!) :0
