How did you spend your Thanksgiving vacation? (Asked at Luckys on Capitol at Tully)

“I was working at the airlines, we had a few customers, but it was quiet. I didn’t go shopping - there were too many people out there, but I have been online.”

“I spent it with my family at home, except for a couple of hours when I went shopping on [Black] Friday. It was crowded.”

“I actually worked Thanks-giving morning and then I came home and cooked. I had the rest of the weekend off and I did do some shopping; I bought something for myself.”

“I cooked for my kids and grandkids and on Friday I drove to Redwood City to see a hockey tournament."

“I spent Thanks- giving with my immediate family and then I worked at Vans at the Great Mall. I started working at 11:30 p.m. Thanksgiving night—the mall opened at midnight. I went shopping after I got off work, at 7 a.m.”

“I worked the entire weekend. I’m off this weekend [Friday through Sunday].”
