    lol I have never heard of black friday, but we also had thanksgiving back in october and its not even a remotly big deal, thankgiving is simpley the day that everyone eats turkey on lol the big shopping day here is boxing day, and thats december 26th, that is the day that everyone is lined up in front of stores by 5am, and most stores have to have people gaurding the eneterence and only allowing a few people in at a time, and their is a time limit lol

    Please, give us retailers a break! -_- Black Friday is always hellish, so the more people who stay home and relax the better for us.

    I HATE HATE HATE noisy kids, and I'm not fond of crowds either, so tomorrow's going to be miserable.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    NNNOOOOOOO i'm not going shopping tomorrow - are you kidding? I hate crowds. However, I work in a store at the mall and I will be working tomorrow till 10 pm!

    PS - black friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving day. It is called "Black Friday" because it either makes or breaks the stores. Meaning: On that day, they will usually get all the money they will make for the year. It is also the buisiest shopping day of the year and there are MAJOR sales! Black Friday is the day the stores go from being "in the red", meaning they are losing money, to being "in the black", which means they are making money. It's a thing in accounting.

    Ralph and I got up just before 6am, went to Sears and bought a TV for the basement, were home by 7, crawled back in bed, and I up getting up now! Not sure I will will brave it again later or not, but if I do, I'll wait for the evening specials...the 7-10pm or so, when many shoppers have gone home

    That's a huge no for me. I don't mind crowds, but, shopping crowds are awful. People just get really ugly this time of year in situations like that. I would if my mother asked me to go with her, or someone else that I loved being with...but, other than that, I wouldn't go.

    I just got home and I had a blast!! My mom is done christmas shopping, except for me and my sisters presents! My mom even bought a present for herself, but me and my sister helped pay for it as a Christmas present for her, because thats what she asked for.
    Her's what she bought....


    -edit- in case you dont know, it is a cd player for her car, she gets free installation when she gets back from Florida next week.

    I did shop but I didn't go out. I did all my shopping online They had MOST of the big sales the stores had so I figured why worry about getting up at 4am

    just like finn's mom.. don't mind being in crowds but people can be so pushy and rude.. especially on veteran's day, black friday..

    but if friends/relatives asked me to, for fun, I would go.. unforunately I was (still am) very sick to get out of bed anyway. so they didn't asked or I declined.
    rest and sleep softly sweet locke..
