Spend the day after Thanksgiving in a more meaningful way by avoiding Black Friday. We’ve got a list of Black Friday alternatives to bring you back to the true meaning of the holidays!
Black Friday is a modern tradition that turns us from thankful, joyful, normal members of society to raging and ravaging shop-monsters hell bent on getting that “best deal.” Step away from the massive lines and house-moms-on-a-mission and spend the day after Thanksgiving in a more meaningful way.
Christmas Tree hunting:
The day after Thanksgiving is the perfect time to start your Christmas and Holiday decorating! Take your turkey-stuffed-families and go pine tree hunting!
Go Hiking:
Work off that post-Thanksgiving bloat by taking a hike! Considering we’re in the most beautiful place in the world, finding a spot for any skill level won’t be difficult. And you know the trails will be clear because of all the silly people who didn’t think of these great Black Friday alternatives.
Volunteer:
We all preach about this being a time of giving and peace and love. Put those ideals into action by skipping the lines and greed during Black Friday and head to your local shelter to see what you can do to help those in need!
See a Show:
The end of Thanksgiving means the immediate beginning of Christmas. This means plenty of holiday-themed shows making their rounds about town. Look up your local theater and see what fun shows you can head to and watch with the family.
Pamper Mom:
We all know Momma pulled it out for yet another Thanksgiving. That food doesn’t just appear on the table you know. A lot of love, thought, and planning went into that perfect meal. So instead of punching your way through that line during Black Friday to buy yourself stuff, spend the day with Mom making sure she has zero reason to get up on her feet other than to use the restroom. This is one of our Black Friday alternatives that will truly show mom she’s appreciated.
Have a DIY gathering:
Nothing is more meaningful than a handmade gift. Sure you could by that only slightly discounted whatever for your Aunt Sally for Christmas, but do you know what she would really love? Something handmade and from the heart of course! Gather your friends and family members and get crafty!
Thanksgiving is a great time to come together with friends and family and think about what youre thankful for in life. Don't ruin the greatful vibes the day after by standing in line and punching your neighbor for medocre deals!
