That has to be my idea of hell.. I avoid all sales like the plague. All those people is my idea of hell. Added to which, I went up to London a couple of weeks ago and got knocked flying literally by another woman. If it hadn't been for Brid, my 14 year old grabbing me I'd have landed on the floor. As it was I jarred my hip right out and was in tears from the pain (and I don't do that)

CHOOSING to go to something like that fills me with absolute horror!

A definite NO from me..........I can't save enough money to go out on Black Friday!
And what's up with this? Kohl's, Macy's and the like open at 4-5am just like the junk shops(Wallyworld and such)?
Try this one, our local Outlet Mall is oepening at Midnight Fri Morning!

The majority of my shopping is on E-bay, but we do very little these days. Automobile Club Member ships, tickets to great events, homemade goodies packed in baskets with movie tickets and dinner certificates.........Christmas got waaay out of hand.
Oh, yeah, Black Friday...........not even if ya had bamboo under my fingernails!

NOT me either! Never did, never will.......................the true meaning of Christmas is not shopping for gifts.......................for me it's about being with those you love, sharing in food , drink, laughter......................no shopping for me this year..................everyone may enjoy themselves @ my house and this shall be their gift.............................(well, okay as long as my unemployment extension finds its way to my bank account!!)

I love to shop and doing it on black friday doesn't bother me. I have participated in the past and skipped it in the past. I am usually out of town while my husband is in the woods hunting. So I am usually praying for his saftey or processing venison. This year I looked at all the flyers and didn't really see anything woth getting plus I don't have money saved up to go shopping. Have fun day to those who do and those who dont.

There is no way in hell that I would step foot anywhere near a retail establishment on black Friday or any weekend between now and Christmas. It's bad enough that I spend 5 days a week in Wal Mart already. The internet and plastic are my shopping partners now (well, except for the liquor store and that's not in the mall). Tree won't go up for a few more weeks either.
