In the mid 1980’s, I spent a Thanksgiving Day night in a sleeping bag on the sidewalk of a retail store in Willow Grove, Pa. The purpose was to claim a spot in line for when the store opened for Black Friday business the next morning at 9AM. The store had advertised the fact that they had 25 Cabbage Patch Dolls for sale that Black Friday and my daughter desperately wanted one for Christmas. I was # 7 in line when my wife relieved me at 6:30 AM so I could leave for work that day. Erica got the doll on Xmas morning.
