Thanksgiving morning, the crew from Sunnyside Farms was busy inflating their giant Santa, who was anxiously awaiting his opportunity to preside over the tree lot. This jolly icon of the commercial side of Christmas may not be quite as big as a Macy's Day Parade balloon, but he is mighty imposing. The three "handlers" had their hands full. Just after we snapped this photo, Santa tumbled over. The three guys jokingly muttered something like "timber" and went about righting the listing Santa. We'll have to stop by this tree lot, located at the corner of Old Battleground and (New) Battleground Avenues, to see if Mr. Claus is vertical yet. In the meantime.....
Let BLACK FRIDAY begin! To many families, Black Friday is a holiday in its own right. People map out their store to store shopping plans. Coupons, bargains, meals on the run- with possibly an over-the-top Christmas sweater- set the festive mood and holiday memories are made. Shoppers rush home late afternoon to hide part of their bounty until December 25th and to dump the rest out on the bed to brag about the best discounts and doorbuster goodies. From Friendly Center to Four Seasons and every little store in between, Greensboro is hopping..... and shopping!
