black friday for the Young family
We have our own black friday tradition and it isn't shopping. No, for the last three black fridays my oldest son and I have sold Christmas trees for his Boy Scout troop. It's actually a pretty good day to sell trees as you get a fair amount of business and that makes the shift go by quicker. I noticed this year, though, that i'm not hoisting the trees on top of cars as easily as I have in years past. The effects of age aside i actually enjoy this event quite a bit. I get some good time with my son and you get to make nice chit chat with people. Yesterday a young couple with newborn in tow bought a tree and asked me to take their picture with the trees in the background. It was nice playing a supporting role for someone's Christmas memory.
