Steph

Derek

Steph:  You gonna do any shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving?

Derek:  I don’t think so. I usually stay home on that day.

Steph:  Really? It’s the biggest shopping day of the year.

Derek:  And that’s precisely why I stay home.

Steph:  What do you mean?

Derek:  Well, the, uh, traffic is insane and the crowds at the stores are fairly large. It’s kind of hard to move around and look at things. But I know a lot of people go anyway.

Steph:  That’s true. You know they’re lighting the Christmas tree on Friday.

Derek:  The one downtown?

Steph:  Yeah.

Derek:  That sounds good. My daughter would probably like that.

Steph:  She probably would. That would be kinda fun.

Derek:  Yeah.

Steph:  And they’re also gonna have all the holiday displays at the stores.

Derek:  Oh yeah. Those are always fun to drive around town and look at in the windows.

Steph:  Yeah. So you may as well just go shopping on Friday.

Derek:  I might give it a shot. Or I’ll drop somebody off who goes shopping.
