Gordon's tips for keeping your sanity for T-Day Sale.

With the 'crazy deals' offered by stores the Day After Thanksgiving for shopping I thought I would offer a few tips to keep your sanity. BUT before I do that, I like to suggest that the T-Day sale is a US government-initiative to save Americans.

Think about it from last night at THAT moment you swore to yourself there isn't possibly another bite of Grandma's pumpkin pie you could take. You just stuffed your face with turkey, stuffing, beans, cranberries, rolls and gravy. You slyly unbuckled that jean button and let your belly flop over the waistband like a cascading waterfall. The soles of your shoe just compressed a bit more under that weight. Hello Jenny Craig!!!

With all the caloric intake Americans took in on T-Day, the government created a retail media madness blitz to get you out like a runner at the Boston Marathon. Some federally funded think-tank created a program to save our lives!

Of course, we all don't have the discipline to get out that early so there has to be great deals to get you out at 5am feeling like a bear woken up in the middle of winter. You got to get up to save $10 on that shirt made by some skinny child in some country you cannot pronounced, and of course you have to buy that HDTV that's $200 off, but the name brand of the tv sounds like a Korean restaurant dish. AND yes, yes, buy DVDS of movies that no one wants, but the 2 DVDs for $8 just feels good to stick it back to the big man...doesn't it?!

Well, here's my tip: plan early, and sleep in and watch tv of consumers who runs into poles:

Or do something so old fashioned as a gift: write a beautiful letter of reflection of someone you love and send it them.

It will brighten their day more than that DVD movie, "Steven Seagal saves the Brown family - a Thanksgiving Tale".
