Gasp!! Black Friday means nothing to me!!
My Xmas gift list includes:
Daughter 22 Son 19 Husband Sister mom/dad gift cards to movie and restaurants every year. Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only one who has no "need" for BF. I find great deals online or on another day. Plus, I always have to work

Means nothing to me either. I would sooner gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon than to go near a retail establishment that day. There is NOTHING I need that badly, and luckily 99% of my Christmas shopping is done online. On Black Friday I am "working" too, but I work 7 days a week 365 days a year (running a horse farm and the horses need to eat, drink and poop every day), and it turns out that the riding lessons I teach will be going on as usual on Friday.

I love holiday shopping but won't do BF. There is nothing I could imagine fighting other shoppers to buy first and the stores are competely torn up.

If I do any shopping on Black Friday, or the Saturday or Sunday after Black Friday, it will be done online.

I don't ever go out early or for anything specifically. However, since I'm with the Hub's family for the holiday, I usually head out with them around lunch time just for fun for the afternoon. It's become somewhat of a tradition. We really enjoy it.

Don't care about it here either. I may look online, but I try to avoid stores as much as possible between thanksgiving and New Years.

I have a different perspective of the value of Black Friday , more technically for stores that are open Thursady night.....oh how I would love to head out and escape my in-laws! How rude would it be of me to ask them to leave so I can get in line at Target?

I don't care for Black Friday either. I did Target last year because my SIL begged me to go with her. My DH is going to do Walmart this time. I don't plan on going with him.

I would rather pay DOUBLE for any item than go out on Black Friday. The madness I see on TV is shocking. I will steer clear, and get some great deals online. I love Christmas shopping in my pj's under a fuzzy blanket, with a hot cup of tea by my side.

I've already been finding items on my list for cheaper than the black friday prices in the ads. 10 years ago it was fun, now not so much.

My mom and I used to shop the day after Thanksgiving every year for years. Then Black Friday became a huge deal and the crowds were crazy. It's probably been 15 or more years since I've even gone to the the grocery store on that day.

A few years ago my friend and I packed up some desserts, thermos of hot chocolate and just went and parked in the parking lot of toys r us and watched. It was entertaining. People are crazy.
