The Friday after Thanksgiving should begin late, after a deep turkey tryptophan induced sleep that makes you sleep in.
Then comes a few cups of coffee and pie as you sit around in your robe a little too long. Then the kids should spend a lot of time outside and friends stop by to say hello and to eat a little turkey and drink a little wine.

If the Lord opens the door for some do-gooding, you should be busy blessing others, too.
The Friday after Thanksgiving is for living in the afterglow of the gratefulness and contentment we fostered on Thursday. If you did Thanksgiving right (meaning you focused on all your abundant blessings and how you have more than you deserve and could possibly need and how the Lord has provided so much that your heart is literally overflowing with grace) than I don't see how it's possible to stand in line to fight, elbow, push and swear your way to a 40-inch on sale at a big box electronic store.
Call me crazy.

Our day was beautiful too. We didn't leave until evening...and that was to go to community downtown lighting of the city park, then to dinner with friends. Sweet.
YES! Conscientious objector here too. So absurd.
We too had friends over instead and it was a LOVELY day!
What amazing photos! Love your description of the day after Thanksgiving.
