Closing Remarks...
Thanks for spending the day with me as I journeyed around taking in the action and lack of action on Black Friday Santa Monica Style...
Having done a bit of research ahead of time, I discovered that most of the big holiday events in Santa Monica take place next weekend, charity shopping events, bazaars, special walks, lighting ceremonies and Santa sightings will be December 2-4. I wish I could have brought you some of that today but the good news is, you could come here still and see it for yourself.
I have now experienced Black Friday from every side - 15 years of retail (Nordstrom, Pottery Barn and The Limited), many years as a shopper, a few years watching it on tv from the comfort and distance of a ski lodge and now I have been involved in chronicling this great American Sporting Event.
I hope everyone has a very happy holiday season!!!
Cheers,
Margot
PS The Volk Family just called to say that their tree was delivered (see posting from before Thanksgiving) and it looks perfect in the livingroom!
