Thanksgiving may be all about food (and football), but Christmas has myriad elements besides the Roast Beast. Gift presentations and all that oohing and aahing, to be more precise. Growing up, we had a turkey dinner on both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am not allowed to repeat that tradition. For Dec. 25, "they" want an entirely different menu, and usually something different every year. Serves me right. I created these monsters, albeit adorable ones. My mother used to call it being "hoisted on your own petard.

EDITORIAL FROM THE AEGIS AND THE RECORD | December 1, 2011
In a more economically naive time, making reference to the Friday after Thanksgiving as Black Friday was something of an insider's comment. Most definitely, it had become a major shopping day long before the promise of door busters (another term once considered the jargon of retail insiders) drew crowds of shoppers out into the dark hours on a Friday morning to wait in line the way teenagers once waited in line for concert tickets. These days it would be easy to conclude that the black in Black Friday refers to the time of day when shoppers start lining up, or the dim prospect of finding a parking spot, but the origin of the name is much more upbeat: it was considered the day by which retail businesses had better be showing black ink on the books.

A woman who police said had left her home in Cockeysville to visit a store on Thanksgiving Eve and was found dead in her burning car the next morning has been identified as 51-year-old Carolyn Davidson Von-Schnell. A cause of death has not been determined, but Baltimore County police have said the death appears accidental. Police said that her Toyota Camry had apparently gone off the road, over a hill and hit several trees in the 1300 block of Phoenix Road. Van-Schnell was found by police, who spotted the car from a helicopter, inside the burning vehicle after relatives called to report her missing from her house in the same block.
