Anyone get (or will get) caught up in all the festivities anywhere?

Myself, I'm staying the fudge away from Bayer's Lake this weekend:P

I took Friday off to drop off my passport renewal application and then we went to the market quickly and then Halifax Shopping Center. It wasn't too crazy there and we got some deals but I was shocked to see how many school aged kids were there. Was it an in-service or something or did that many parents really let their kids skip school for that???

Maybe they just gave their kids Christmas money and said "go nuts, if you get hurt it's your fault".

It was apparently an in-service day.

I went out to Bayers Lake yesterday and it wasn't too bad traffic wise. There were deals to be had, but you had to pick carefully and be prepared to do some negotiating depending on where you go.
