"Black" Friday

I never went out on Black Friday until a few years ago. I only went to a few places and never bright and early. Not sure if I'll go out this year.

The last time we did a Black Friday, I was standing in a store looking at an item - had it in my hand - and a woman came up, took it right out of my hand and took off. I was so shocked. She said "You didn't want it anyway" and walked away. My only reaction was to say "Merry Christmas" in a snarky way. Never again. I shop on line - it's easier.

People seem to have forgotten the reason for the season. So sad.

Another reason I love CBC:

On a news break today they reported on a study done on people looking forward to holiday shopping. I forget the overall findings, but what stood out was "8 percent said they would rather have a root canal than go to the mall on Black Friday!"
