Done? You're my idol! :xoxo: I started early but only got that one gift so far. :lol: I have never shopped on Black Friday. Seems like it would be really stressful. I am so not into that. I get crowd angry and want to smack people. :lol:

It's the best day to have an excuse to be a total bitch and rude in public. How can I pass that up??? :shrug: :]

Good point. That part could be fun. I know that if you have specific items you want to get you can save huge money getting in early. But I don't know if it is worth it to me. You can save the same amount oftentimes just waiting 'til Dec 18th-ish. :lol:

Good point, but I feel like I've held off way too long by then... The huge savings help me with Sara's mountain of gifts yearly... and the older she gets, the more expensive her gifts get....:(

Totally, last minute shopping is too stressful. So when weighed against the stress of black friday, I think you have the right idea.

Besides, I think Deb has to work that day 7pm-7am

Well since you put it that way I MAY go out this year!! ;)

I have never gone shopping that day either because I also get crowd angry. I mean I HATE crowds - the only way I can handle them is if I have someone(s) with me to distract me from all the people...so generally I don't partake in Black Friday.

ermmm...no. And its not fun for the people that work in retail of any kind. Customers are absolute devils that day. The "spirt of Christmas" eh?...Shop early, shop online.

OK, point taken. I wouldn't want to work retail that day, but it's the other shoppers I'm bitchy to, not the retail workers. Anyone who works in retail that day has my full respect, because I don't think I could do it.

one of those retailers, And boy-howdy I HATE Black Friday!!!

Lord forbid if you sold out of an item that was listed in the newspaper ad, because the customers would bitch/moan/complain as if it was all your fault.

That is one of the reasons I am really kind towards retail clerks, I been there and done that.

I have to work....I always work on Black Friday...our doctor's office never closes for the extended weekend. The only reason it would be appealing is the sales prices but not the droves of shoppers...I am not fond of epic crowds!:shrug: :sorry:

I don't know if I'm going out on Black Friday this year or not. I am already half done with my Christmas shopping. :woohoo:

I never camp out in the parking lots or anything for those "doorbuster" 5:00 AM sales. I want to save myself from injury, thanks. Plus, as has already been said, nothing says Christmas cheer like knocking someone else out for the last DVD player on the shelf.

I've been shopping on that day, not nearly as bad as I had expected. I went really early & was home by 11am. All the stores were prepared with extra staff. Except Circuit City, where I waited in the checkout line for 45 minutes. Hey! CD's were 7.99! Can't pass that up.

Not sure if I'll go this year. My brother & his fam are coming up from AZ for Thanksgiving, so we'll have "Thanksmas" again this year. That's half the fam done & over with, so not too much more shopping to do.

can't wait. since I'm a mall whore, this is right up my, erm, alley.

lines don't bother me that much. I'm too busy trying to decide exactly which items I'll put down on my way to the register as the line dwindles. gives me time to evaluate. :laugh:

I was too and I wanted to kill everyone. Christmas Eve was the worst. Everyone waiting until 6:00 (closing) to come to the register with their 500 items! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: I'm so glad I got out of that because it was not for me.

I hate Black Friday, but looking through some of those deals- UGH. The $99 Kodak 5MP camera w/ dock at Circuit City is looking mighty fine. I wonder if I can make my mom go do it for me. She does Wal-Mart every year or two.

I HATE Circuit City normally- the checkout lines there are INSANE and then once you finally get there they give you a receipt that's longer than a roll of toilet paper.

Holy crap that's cheap! Go for it.
