Fun fact: I live pretty far from my nearest family, so I don’t have to get to go home and partake of the American tradition of stuffing mostly unpalatable food in my face on this holiday weekend. My husband and I stay home with the kids, watch movies, eat whatever we want, catch up on work, and play MMOs. And shop. I save up for Black Friday!
