Just give thanks. to everything.
Come to think of it today. I spent actually quite a few Thanksgiving in Boulder/Denver. My first Black Friday experience was at Cherry Creek Mall. (THE upscale mall in Denver) Since I was visiting and it was before internet age, so I just went there without knowing it is THAT upscale. I was driving a stick shift car belongs to my friend and was stuck on the leveled garage ramp trying to pull in a precious parking space. I was afraid of releasing my clutch and backing into the Mercedes behind me. (who was following too close)
In the end, the traffic attendant in the mall came up to see what was blocking the whole line, and parked the car for me. :)
Imagine that: a little Tercel driven by an Asian woman blocking the whole line of Lexus, Mercedes, BMW.....
