Who's doing the Day After Thanksgiving shopping?

Okay, so who is going to get up at the crack or dawn and do the whole bargain hunting thing? What stores are you hitting? What are you in the market for?

I can't understand this at all.

I can only take shopping for a few hours at a time, more like one hour of actual shopping and then a break to eat something. This girl in my history class says her family is always ready to go at 5:00 a.m. and they don't get back until that night.

That's flippin' insane!!! I don't like shopping enough to battle the jungle of the day after Thanksgiving. There is nothing I need - and I find crowds to be big trials in anger management for me....people are rude and I usually can't handle the big crowded stores...not even for mega big sales...

Not to save my life or the freedom of my country. I would need a fistful of Xanax to deal with the crowds and frenzy. Sparky is almost done shopping. Little need for this madness. But, for those who like this scene, Knock Yourselves Out.

In lieu of actual gifts, almost all receive from me a card that says a donation has been made to a charity in their name by be for the holidays. So, I have little shopping to do - but THAT certainly will not keep me outa the stores

I'll be driving back home from my parent's house on Friday. I don't think I want to hit the mall or anything. I worked at Old Navy for two years and know how it is. It wasn't pretty. Besides, I hate to shop and have no one to shop for.....

People are such assholes on the day after Thanksgiving, you can't survive without being one yourself. I was in the GAP last year and got into a fight with one lady over a pair of pants because there was only one left. I didn't get the pants, but I sure let her have it.

When I went to NJ for Thanksgiving in 1997... err,, actually it was for the Reunion Tour, Madison Square Garden concert at NYC, but also to dine with my relatives, ha ha....

Well, the day after I woke up very early to go shopping at K-Mart (or was it Wal-Mart? can't remember). But the sales weren't that crazy I always heard. Yeah, cool prices but I didn't find any "incredible" sale, at least what I was looking for.

My uncles (who live in NJ) bought a TV, I think it was very cheap. Anyway, not a good idea for me to carry a TV to Peru, I looked for small stuff, but it wasn't big deal.

No big lines or crowded place, fortunately
