   I refuse to go into stores when they are too crowded. It creates a herd mentality where it is hard to concentrate.

   Did you guys hear about the man who was trampled to death? He was a Wal-Mart employee who was trying to calm down the crowds and he was trampled...and people even pushed passed the paramedics who were trying to revive him!

   Nothing. For the past 10 years I have bought everything either online or through local artists.
   
   I dislike malls - you'll never find me there. I dislike Walmart - until our trade deficit evens up with China, you won't find me there either. I dislike shopping center parking lots - never can find a spot within reasonable walking distance and can't remember where I parked my damn truck either. I dislike rude shoppers - aaarrrggghhh! I dislike, even more, rude retail clerks - double aaarrrggghhh!
   
   Thanks for allowing my rant! I feel much better now.

    I had to work starting at 4:30am and it was a crazy day. When I got off work my wife and I went to an antique mall. She collects carrot stuff and I purchased a couple of small tea pots, one with a carrot handle and the other a carrot body. I will surprise her on Christmas day.

    Nothing. I tried shopping on the day after Thanksgiving once and I hated it...the crowds and the way people behaved. I'll never do it again. I stay far away from the stores.

    Well, we actually ate fast food last Friday, so a couple of burgers and some fries. Otherwise, not a blessed thing. I don't do holiday shopping in stores after T-giving. I did, however, buy a pile of present for my family on-line on Saturday. Between deal codes and other things I've accrued over the past several months, I saved almost $100, not including sale prices, and got free shipping on all but one item. Why would I go to the mall?!

    N-O-T-H-I-N-G. And the Wal-mart trampling has just about finished me for the commercial side of Christmas. If I didn't have kids, I wouldn't buy anything for anyone, nor would I expect or want anything from anyone. As it is, we do a very modest holiday with two or three gifts for the kids and that's it. $200 tops. We make a matching contribution to Oxfam, the local food bank, and the local animal shelter. I told my sons about the trampling, and they're almost ready to be done with the commercialism, too. They're such mini-me's

    Hi,
    What is Black Friday?
    From comments I understood that it is a day you do shopping.
    But as SiuilARuin asked , why 'Black' ?
