We are not going to my mother's for dinner but instead are going afterwards. The main reason is that my brother's girlfriend likes to do the "black Friday" shopping thing for the past few years each year has asked my mother to move up dinner so she can shop. This year she wants it really early so she can be somewhere at 4:30. So out of principal and knowing it will never stop, I said we would come by after dinner. Seems reasonable to me but I bet I get people mad at me later. Oh well, my mother is OK with it, that's all that matters to me. When I went to the game a few years ago I didn't ask for everyone's dinner to be moved.
