Today was Small Business Saturday, a day set aside to promote small businesses in the midst of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. American Express is championing this effort to help independent retailers have a big impact on the economy during the holiday shopping season. We did our part today to help the economy and to put some money into the til of some of our favorite businesses on the North Shore of Chattanooga.
Each year our electric and fiber optic utility company sets up a window display for the holidays. They are different each year. This year’s ensemble features children having fun in various vignettes. Also there is a special display honoring the service of those in our community who have served in the military. There is a winter wonderland happening here.
Happy Black Friday good people. Today is the big day of deals and steals (well don’t steal anything that would get you in trouble). People were lined up at the malls and the big box stores to shop kind of like the “Hunger Games” or something like that. If you are one of those braving the elements and your fellow bargain hunters I salute you. God have mercy. Have a great day. May the odds be ever in your favor!
What did the gingerbread man put on his bed?…..A cookie sheet.
You may go ahead and groan and moan now. Happy Holidays folks.
This is a classic song from Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update featuring Kevin Nealon and Adam Sandler. The Thanksgiving song is a cornucopia of cultural references that ties in with the holiday.
