Nope... No malls etc here on Friday. We do the X-Mas tree thing though on 'black friday'. The day after Thanksgiving we always go to a christmas tree farm about an hour and 1/2 from here in the mountains and cut down down our tree and eat at a cool little general store. Kids love it, its a tradition.

Pretty much all online shopping from here on out to finish up- got my kids bigger things last weekend- ( 9 pm at Target is a great time to shop btw) I Can't do an electronics dept anytime after thanksgiving without getting really pissed off.. and of course my kids lists were heavy in that area.

You see it's a religious holiday here and it's taken very seriously. No. That day is reserved for making Turkey and Andouille Gumbo and sleeping. Steve G

It is WAY to early to start the holiday shopping! There is PLENTY of time left on the day before Christmas to get it all done. Why rush things?

Or, just "Bah HUMBUG" the whole thing and don't go out and do ANY shopping!

Hey, I like the sounds of that idea!

All those presents that I was going to buy all y'all ... ... ... FORGET IT!

Some years I go, some I don't. Walmart has a couple of items I want, so I may get over there before 5 am. It's only a half a mile.

We have to go to Springfield, but we are not going shopping... have a couple of errands to run, and pick up Kirk's trike from the shop.

I'm going to look online at what's what today, I know Newegg has a sale today, and a couple of other places. I'm with you, Langa, online is the easiest anymore.

Have fun, everyone who will brave the crowds. I'm with you, Barb. If I didn't have to go to Springfield, I'd be home in my sweats, relaxing and doing some housework.

Ok, that was the 1st time I've ever gone to a store on Black Friday before 9am. I spent more money than I should have, which is reason enough to me never to do it again. That is also the longest I've ever waited in line at a checkout too, lol. The people were pretty decent and I could maneuver the store well, but in all honesty, it wasn't worth waking up early for and driving 30 min to get there, lol.

BTW, did you read about the Walmart employee that was trampled to death this morning? Was a guy 34 years old, same age as me. How utterly awful, that's just not right!! Angry

I often go shopping on Black Friday but won't today, just because I don't really know what I want and don't want to go buy stuff I probably don't need. I'll do what Melissa did and overspend. On the other hand Lisa picked out and tried on a coat Wed. and I found it on line today with free shipping, no tax and 20% off. The store only had a $20 gift card if you spent over $100. I saved over $55 and never left my house!

Last night (yes it was Thanksgiving) Michael's Craft store was open with great sales from 6 to 9pm only. I bought $15 worth of flowers for $5. I'm making pottery vases for Christmas gifts with my 1st grade class. They will be so pretty! It felt good to get out and walk around after diner too. And hardly anyone was there.
