Thanksgiving and Gatsby

Happy belated Thanksgiving!! I hope everyone had lots of fun shopping during Black Friday, too. :) There were so many parties this week and so much food (and still more to come)! Personally, none of the parties I attended reached Gatsby-like proportions. There wasn’t quite as much dancing or other (unmentionable) festivities either, but the amount of food prepared and consumed just might be able to compete with that of Mr. Gatsby’s fabulous bashes… And hurrah for me for I was actually invited by the wonderful hosts and didn’t just show up, in which case I probably would have been thrown out. I had lots of fun catching up with old friends and meeting new people as well. Thanksgiving has to be the best holiday ever, second only to Christmas of course.  

I wonder how the Buchanans and their society would like Black Friday. Would they think, “Yay shopping, spending, and extravagance!” Or would they frown and scorn our frenzied rush for deals thinking, “We can afford all of that, at double the original price. So we would much rather stay in our lavish homes away from you nasty, lowly masses.” Either way Black Friday was quite fun even though I by no means reached the extravagant standards of Daisy and her world. I do get the feeling that Daisy and Jordan would enjoy the south side of Somerset mall though. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving and last few days of break!
