Look out, folks: Black Friday is here, and with it comes the primitive urge to push, shove, and fight in order to get a decent deal on electronics… If you plan to avoid these barbaric rituals (like I do), consider doing one of the following:

1. Enjoy the Nutcracker Ballet at the Pikes Peak Center.

Tickets are still available for the 7p.m. showing . Visit the Pikes Peak Center website for more information.
2. Take a long nap.

After the record amounts of tryptophan you consumed, you deserve it!
3. Spend the day skiing...

5. ...or sledding.

There is no better way to burn a few calories than by enjoying Colorado's fresh powder!
6. Take the kids to see the ElectriCritters display at the Pueblo Zoo.
