Buy! Buy! Buy!

Turkey/Black Friday Edition

We just celebrated Thanksgiving AND everything on sale. Although the sales always start early now like right after Halloween so is it Black Friday anymore or just non-Red November?  But on the other topic of Thanksgiving, had to work but I did get my honey baked ham from... Honey Baked Ham.  I got the smallest they had and it's still a minimum of $45, I can't remember if that is what I paid before.  I didn't get one last year because it was last year but thought after this long year, I deserved a ham, honey ham, honey baked ham!  And, it did not disappoint.  But for the black friday sales, didn't get anything really.  Trying to reduce the clutter, not add more to it!

Weekly Update:

When is Christmas?  Now... done.  It is not after Halloween!  People argue that right after Halloween starts the Christmas season but then that is like saying (to me) that Labor Day is part of 4th of July!  Observe the next holiday, why are you skipping them?  I mean if you don't care for a holiday that is fine but just don't ignore it, wait till it's past and then celebrate the one you like.  So many love Halloween but then you can argue it's part of Christmas (which then Nightmare Before Christmas comes into play).  But please don't skip a holiday, at least the major ones!

At the movies:

Big holiday opening for Encanto as it takes top honors and comes in with a 5-day opening of 40.3 million for it's debut.  Should do fairly well and will see how it carries into the holiday season.  Slight drop to #2 is "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" with 24.5 mil more and now within striking distance to 100 mil cume.  Should get there in due time.  New at #3 is House of Gucci with a holiday total of 21.8 mil and more of an award-contender than big box office.  Drop down to #4 is "Eternals" with 7.9 mil extra and still holding fair.  Rounding off the top 5 and new is Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City with 8.8 mil* and not much word on this film.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as King Richard comes with a holiday total of 9.9 mil* at #7, another award contender over box office.

* - film grosses are for 5-day totals but are ranked over their Fri-Sun totals
