Holiday season in the US.
Hey, mom, what are you doing?
I'm cooking a Thanksgiving meal.
Oh, I've forgotten that the holiday season is almost here.
Well, we have a big party.
A party, well, I don't think it can be called a party, just an annual family reunion.
Will the whole family come for Thanksgiving?
Yeah, and they'll stay here till the holiday season ends.
Sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun.
Sounds like I'm going to be a nervous wreck for all the holiday period.
It must be very stressful to have so many mouths to feed.
Have you already done all the shopping?
I think, yes, I've bought the biggest turkey, but that was in the shop and all the necessary ingredients
for the stuffing.
No, I actually meant the president, it's going to be a family reunion for the holiday season, isn't
it?
And then comes the gift exchange.
Oh, the presence.
Well, there's a Black Friday for that everything is going to be on sale.
I always buy all these Christmas candy canes, baubles, hollies and even a poinsettia on Black Friday.
Well, you join me for this gift hunt.
To be honest, I'd rather stay home and watch TV.
I'm not a big fan of this shopping craze that begins on Black Friday and ends only after Boxing Day
crowds are people staying in a two mile line to buy Christmas stockings on sale.
Does it sound sane?
Well, people had been waiting for this day for a year to buy everything on sale.
Usually the prices are really reduced so much that a one year wait and a two mile line is worth it.
Why not do shopping on a shoestring if you have this opportunity?
That's cool that you're enjoying wandering along the overcrowded malls and department stores, but I
know you and going shopping with you means spending a crazy amount of hours window shopping before you
make a decision to buy one tiny gift.
No, it won't be like that this time, I promise, I've already written down a shopping list.
OK, I'll keep you company, but only if you promise that this year we won't choose gift tags and greeting
cards for our second cousins for an hour and a half.
I will try.
