Even though stores have been offering Black Friday deals for the entire month of November, today is the day after Thanksgiving, THE official Black Friday. My inbox is flooded with Black Friday specials, my pile of USPS mail is filled with Black Friday flyers. One other BLACK mark on this day is a new coronavirus variant, Omicron, which the World Health Organization has identified as a variant “of concern.” Ugh.
But…there’s always something to make one’s spirits bright. Black Friday is the day I put up the Christmas tree. I love to spend the day taking ornaments out of their boxes, reminiscing about the stories that come with them.
Another bright spot is the University of Dayton Flyers men’s basketball team. The Flyers are playing in the ESPN Events Invitational Tournament in Orlando. Today they played the Kansas Jayhawks, ranked #4 in the country, and beat them on a last second buzzer beater! Flyer Faithful everywhere were cheering LOWD and ProUD!
