Holiday Shopping

This year we decided to take advantage of some of the holiday shopping madness. On Wednesday we went to the Arden Fair Mall for some of the pre-Thanksgiving sales. We got there in the evening so it wasn't too crowded and we actually got some great deals. JCPenny was open until 10pm and around 9-9:30pm the employees were putting up the doorbuster signs for early Friday morning. I saw a sweater I liked, but didn't know the price because the doorbuster price was listed. When I asked how much it was the lady told me we could get anything for the day after Thanksgiving sale price...YA WHOO!! We bought a few things and were happy to get the Friday @ 4am deal without getting up early or fighting the crowds.On Thursday night/Friday morning we went to Midnight Madness sale at the Folsom outlets. We have never gone before, but decided to check it out for fun. It was CRAZY!! Fortunately we went early and beat the crowds. The Gap opened at 11pm, so we got there at 11pm and walked right in. We also went to most of the baby clothes outlets and Wilson Leathers. The most crowded stores we went into were Carter's and Baby Gap, but even then it was only 10-15 minutes wait to purchase our items. As we left around 1:30am the lines just to get into a few stores were insane. The line to the Gap and Pac Sun were at least 1 hour, but the worst was for the Coach store which looked like it was a 2 hour wait...CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY people.
