Black Friday (shopping)

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, is historically one of the busiest retail shopping days of the year. Many consider it the "official" beginning to the holiday season. Most retailers will open very early and usually provide massive discounts on their products.

Although Black Friday is typically the busiest shopping day of the year in terms of customer traffic, it is not typically the day with the highest sales volume. That is usually either Christmas Eve, the last Saturday before Christmas, or Boxing Day.[1]

I am with Kevin the whole shopping and gift thing has been blown out of proportion. My sister has two children and they're only children so yes they're a tad spoiled. I buy wine and some cigars for some close friends, but other then that not too much. We used to do bake goods gifts. We have the baking Saturday we would bake all day long..OMG by the end of the day we want to kill each other

As for Black Friday a few years back we began making it a tradition to see what all the hype was about. It's now called girls day out and we each pick out one gift and we have lunch. I honestly have been to the Mall when it was busier. Just do what makes you happy and the holidays are sure to be fun!
