I have never shopped the day after Thanksgiving for the reasons you mentioned. I feel like I'm giving in to the consumerism. Of course I purchase gifts for Christmas, but I never do it the day after Thanksgiving, and I don't buy too many things for my son. Only things like educational toys that will help him learn and a few clothing items that he may need. We try to keep it very simple. I love the idea of Make Something Day. My son is very young right now, but eventually I would love to incorporate this into our traditions. I couldn’t agree with you more.
