Christmas All Year Community

How's everyone's shopping plans going? Are you deciding not to shop? Is Black Friday considered part of the US Thanksgiving tradition now?

Being Canadian, we don't have this day, but since I've always lived close to the border I know a fair bit about it. Plus some friends and relatives head down to shop on that day too.

A note about Black Friday for those who think it sounds a little evil Black Friday is the day that most retailers go from being in the red (in debt) to the black (making money).

My husband and I go out for Black Friday every year. I've never had a bad experience though. I think it may depend on the area you're in. I probably wouldn't go if I lived in a larger area where there could be potentially thousands of people in attendance. I read that someone got trampled in New York today. No deal is that good for me. So, I'm lucky enough to live in a smallish town where everyone was really nice. I had fun shopping today.
