Two things I hate most -- shopping, and crowds.

My family has done our Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday for several years now -- due to a sibling who always had to work on Thanksgiving. Even so, I've never seen a BF deal I couldn't pass up.

Give me a few websites and I'm a happy camper.

Is it bad that whenever I see this thread I think of the song 'Friday'?

Not as bad as thinking about Lil Kim when you see it.

So do I. It hurts my head. :(

There is absolutely nothing that I want badly enough to join in that insanity.

I spend the day at home, putting away my Thanksgiving tableware and linens and fall knicknacks I always set out, and getting out my Christmas stuff. It's just too insane to do any shopping, and who wants to sit outside Best Buy for a week to buy a $200 Sharp 42" LCD? When the store probably has ten on hand and you would be killed trying to grab one?

Not me.

Personally, I would much rather work or shop at 9 or 10 on Thanksgiving evening than be dragged out of bed at 4 or 5 AM the next morning.

Ditto.

One day, "Rebecca Black Friday" is going to be a Wheel of Fortune answer and this commercial will be to blame. :mad:

I saw that commercial tonight. I covered my ears.

My thing with Black Friday is that 99% of the time (unless it's a laptop or something) the thing you want will be 50% off the day after Christmas anyway.

Ex: That sweater you just threatened to cut someone over in Target for $12.99 will be $5 on 12/26.

If that was a Black Friday deal, I'm going to be seriously grouchy I missed out. My Macbook is ancient but I just can't afford a new one.

I got home from Thanksgiving with BFs family and my dad asked me if I wanted to do him a favor. I said sure, because really, what could it be?

Welllll it could be to go to WALMART at midnight to get this thing my brother wanted while my dad slept. :rolleyes:

But I got it! Woop!

MC, if I didn't know better, I would have thought I wrote your message. :D If I absolutely MUST go to the mall before New Years, I go 15 minutes before they open so I don't deal with the idiots trying to find that perfect parking space, go to the one store I MUST go to and race out the door as fast as I can.

I have never braved Black Friday and I don't intend to break my record at this age.

21 years ago, I went down to my local Walmart at 6am on Black Friday. I walked right in and picked up the item I wanted and checked out without any line. Very few people were there. Prior to that year stores open at 9AM. Now it has become a monster and I foresee Liability Insurance companies putting an end to the practice.
