It's that time of year again...the busiest shopping day is only a week away!

Just a day or two after Halloween, I went into a store that had become a full-fledged Winter Wonderland and thought to myself, "You are now entering the Season of Spending." For me, the few weeks between Halloween and Christmas are not only home to Christmas, but also several family birthdays and anniversaries. The thought of spending all my time trying to manage my busy lifestyle and adding in shopping and wrestling crowds and traffic during this season was overwhelming to me.

Enter: Advent Conspiracy.

What is Advent Conspiracy? It is a movement that asks the question: "What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?" I could go on and on with more info, but invite you to check out their website and info for yourself. It's www.adventconspiracy.org.

In order to combat losing Christmas to "the Season of Spending" this year, I'm taking a different approach to my Black Friday Sale. I still want to pass on savings to you, but want to do things differently. You can check out the details of the sale below, but I'm also going to be donating a portion of the profits from the day after Thanksgiving to Living Water International - an organization that builds wells worldwide providing clean water.
