Until this year I liked to sleep late, break out the Christmas decorations and turn on QVC. This year my family back in the states may have done that, but I was in a car heading to Poland for the weekend. I was very surprised to see that all the Polish stores in Warsaw had their Christmas lights twinkling and sales were in full swing. So much for getting away from it all. Black Friday just may be a virus. I have never been one of those Black Friday kind of people, though I do love a good sale.
