I refuse to call it "Black Friday" as that term has just gotten out of control! It isn't like anyone who is "black" gets extra discounts or all black clothing is on extra special sale or anything!

Anyway, just curious about what other people do the day after Thanksgiving. Do you have to go to work? Do you shop the sales starting in the wee hours of the morning? Do you spend the day cleaning up after yesterday's celebrations and enjoying the leftovers?

What is your tradition? Just curious!

As for us, since I stopped working for a weekly newspaper that meant this day was the craziest of the year, I don;t have any set plans, but generally avoid the shopping crush, and usually end up delivering "leftover" pumpkin cookies to a friend's family, either today or tomorrow.

I saw somewhere folks have tried to start naming "Brown Thursday" which is of course not necessary, as it is called Thanksgiving, folks! That's the reason for the holiday, not shopping!
