Do you plan your Black Friday with the precision of a military unit?
Do you and your family fan out across Wal-Mart in color-coordinated sweats, walkie talkies in hand, to find the best deals on the day after Thanksgiving? Is Black Friday - the opening of the holiday shopping season - an annual event at your house that requires scouring ads, planning ahead and coordination?
In this economic climate, things may get even crazier than normal, so be prepared!
I stole this wonderful List for the best Black friday sales from my friend, you can create your own shopping list also.
Hehe...
What are your Black Friday plans?[/img] |

Nothing, Xmas is a religious day and I'm not religious, so I call it the most boring day of the year, nothing to do but to sit it out, kinda like a rainy day. |

I'll probably stay home, like I do every year.
Well, last year my niece visited and we went to Disneyland the day after Thanksgiving.
But I try not to plan anything special anymore. Three out of the past four Thanksgiving weekends have ended with me in the hospital. I'd just as soon not end up there again this year. |

Justicebserved will be at her moms house as of 0900. By 1030, if the weather isnt brutal or wet, I will be outside bouldering somewhere with friends. Thus avoiding any in store issues. |

I'm confused - are we talking Xmas or Thanksgiving?
If Thanksgiving - see Nanny's post
If Xmas, well, eldest daughter moves out this weekend, wife & youngest daughter will both be working, so I'm on my own. Probably sit around drinking beer in my underpants.
Edit: just to clarify - I'll be sitting in my underpants and will be drinking beer, not drinking beer from my underpants.. oh hell, you know what I mean.
Just make sure you shut your curtains, I don't want to see that - RC |

It's the day after Thanksgiving in the states, which retailers call "Black Friday," as it is the single largest shopping day in the US. |

Completely agree, however it's difficult to be a bah humbug when you've got 2 kids
When they're out the house, I won't be doing anything either. |

Avoiding it, although I'll be amused by all the idiots camping outside of stores since 2 am.
It doesn't have anything to do with Christmas. |

Staying inside until after around 10:00am. By then the nutcases have exhausted themselves.
I pity the sales clerks that have to work the register on Black Friday as well.
The reason for it being called "Black Friday" is that because of the volume of sales, many stores (retailers) are "in the black" versus operating "in the red" for the rest of the year.
The last few years for retailers have been pretty brutal, and with the latest round of price cuts, its not very clear if many are going to make money, or even break even this year.
For those in the US. If you are thinking of a Gift Card, GIVE CASH. If a retailer goes bankrupt, there are very litte protections in US law that will protect a consumer. You might be out your gift, and the person might be out of luck. |

well, obviously, the beer would run out through the material.

@Roy - I'll probably be upstairs. Hopefully the (by then) spare bedroom will have been converted to a computer / radio room & library. |

I have November 26th thru November 30th off from work. I plan to eat, sleep, work on a presentation for work, watch NBA BB games, play with my cats, sleep some more, do laundry and watch old movies. I do not go out shopping after Thanksgiving unless it is a total necessity.
Our family has an interesting Christmas tradition that doesn't involve buying presents. We donate to our favorite charities in our family name. I always donate money to the elephant sanctuary in Tennessee, my Mom donates to her church, my sister donates to the ballet, my Grinch of a brother puts a penny in the Salvation Army can, my other brother donates to the veterans and my oldest sister spends Christmas day at the local nursing home visiting the people who don't have family. If you want to donate money or a present to the children in the family that is your choice. Since we started this five years ago our family has been having a much happier Christmas. |

I tried Black Friday once two years ago. I usually to to work at 5am, so waking up at 4am wasn't a problem, the problem was the people who waited in line overnight! When I got there the line was so big I said forget it and went home. Haven't cared to try again, should be enough deals online for what I need (hard drives for HTPC). |

I live four miles from a regional mall, with a Wal-Mart,Sams, Cosco,and several shopping centers all in the same general area. With so many crazed shoppers rushing to get to the stores for the big sales,I will not attempt to leave my home and risk my life on the streets,so on Friday and Saturday I will put up Christmas decorations
.
On Christmas day my wife and I will sit back and watch the kids destroy their gifts. |

I'm just releived this was not a thread about Anglo / Irish troubles or yet another Stock Exchange catastrophe. The term "Black Friday" has more than retail therapy connotations ....
Still the drinking beer in underpants bit was .... err .... disturbing! |

My mother used to purchase gifts for us whenever she saw something she thought we'd like. Well, if it was on sale at the time. Then she'd put it "where she'd know where it was."
Quite often we'd be surprised in the middle of August or so with a nice present and the explanation, "I was going to give this to you for Christmas last year, but I forgot where I put it, so I had to go out and get something else. I'm giving it to you now because I just found it again." |

That's my situation too, we would give Xmas presents when they still believed in it, but when it just gets down to a big order list of what they might want to have and dare to ask for, it's time they get a part time job so they can buy it
Seen the frenzy on TV at a friends house, who will get up at 3 am for a 60% discount on something useless, you have to stand in line to get the stuff? Just like in the former east block countries, but now it is not even for food, just consumption goods?
I am so glad I don't have the money to be so wise |
