‘Tis the morn of Black Friday, while most still a-snore,

I am camped in front of the electronics store.

With wind chills brisk and hope of sunlight to come,

My thrice bundled body is still going numb.

Within me warm anticipation starts to grow

As my watch confirms: only two hours to go!

“Why so excited?!” one may rightly exclaim,

“Are you nocturnal, cold-blooded, or simply insane?!”

Well, since I was young, I’ve always had reason

To hunt super sales, best buys of the season.

First it was my thousand-watt surround sound

With speakers and sub to rattle the ground.

Next it was my high-def monstrosity

With films to watch in crystal clarity.

Now don’t get me wrong, my buys were quite nice,

For I love tech toys at such a great price.

But all those years there was something missing.

It was the hard truth I was dismissing.

I was shopping for myself and no one more.

I was a scrooge… a grinch, right to the core!

So this year, I’m doing things differently,

For I found a reason that’s bigger than me.

It is giving my gifts, seeing my family smile!

It’s giving of myself, going that extra mile!

It’s showing I love them, with no shadow of doubt!

That, oh that, is what I’m most excited about!! 

well, just a few days ago we found the results:

HE WON!

That's right, the grand prize...
