The day after Thanksgiving, we braved the trek downtown (on Trax) to see the lights turn on. We decided to start at Temple Square. We got down there at 5:20. I was ticked because, in broad daylight, Temple Square's lights were already turned on! I thought they do a big spectacle the day after Thanksgiving. I guess I was wrong. The lights were still beautiful, the Temple was still beautiful, and we still had a fun time together as a family.
I don't do Black Friday shopping, and I don't think that I ever will. I feel like I would rather pay the extra or full price than to wake up early and be in crowds. I feel too claustrophobic around people. People make me nervous, in general. Really, what it comes down to is I am not brave, and I am not exciting.
I was shocked that I actually followed through with taking the kids downtown. The idea is nice, but usually is defeated because of the crowds. It was a fun night, and we were able to get a beautiful picture of the Temple. --Next year, I won't go the day after Thanksgiving-and I won't go on Trax. (Way too much Riff-Raff on board.)
