Ah black Friday. The day where all the shoppers greed gets the best of EVERYONE. Including myself, in moderate doses. Stores are ready but the cashiers and sales associates are not. Black Friday is like a tradition in my family. Nearly everyone in my family will participate except my dad my husband and my kids of course. Usually I will be the first who jumps at the chance to look at the ads and get ideas for Christmas and R's birthday. However I will have to wait until Saturday to even attempt to try and get anything for myself and my kids. Lets not forget a perspective cage for the ferret that my dad is giving us. This years shopping list includes my daughter R's birthday gifts which I have already mentioned. So my black Friday shopping list is FULL. I may bargain with someone to help me and pay them back. Ahem "Challenge accepted."
Thankfully I found someone to help me with my black Friday shopping. Mostly for the kids, but that was my main goal. I will still find movie deals for myself, but my kids come first. However my sister-in law made a good point. Black Friday shopping is like suicide. I am not sure what is worse, trying find a parking spot or actually making it out of the stores with an attempt to keep your sanity in tact.

| So I guess the really question is how bad do I want it. Well a part of me wants it bad enough, and another part of me wants to just say I will do the safe thing and get my shopping done during cyber week. Dont get me wrong, I like black friday shoot R was born the day after black friday because I went that year pregnant. I am just not crazy enough to go and participate in the fights that can happen. I thought that the day or week before Christmas was bad. Oh well I have made my point and stated my position on it for this year. So with that I will end this and say later. |
Black Friday is nothing but pure madness participated in by people who have nothing to loose or have temporarily lost their sense of sanity due to a collection of shiny sales signs. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I have our friend A.C. do my black friday shopping for me. He gets a thrill out of it so I let him do mine too as I usually only have a two to three items anyway. lol
