Black Friday Sales
November 26, 2010
The day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday — the crazy-hour traditional start to the holiday shopping season.

dudes seriously camping out in walmart ill have to try that sometime
■harley1: sweetheart, Jesus is not going to base his decision on my destination on when, where, why I shop.
HE is, and WILL always be the “REASON for the SEASON” in MY home!
and I will continue to shop, shop, shop, so I can give, give, and keep giving
Everybody has to get Political or Religious ,Simple these teens proboly worked at a fast food restraunt and saved there hard earned money to go and find a good deal on a new flat screen instead of depending on there parents or someone else ,and saving there money instead of spending it on drugs an alcohol ,so I think these are Some pretty good kids that are willing to work and be economical at a young age ,,
to LOL and T. I’ll concede it could be fun for some,espescially going as a group, However when you are in the middle of the chaos at any of these stores ask yourself if what you see is the “reason for the season”. Is it really that serious, you ask? A U.S. Marine was stabbed at one store, shots fired at another, stampedes at many, so you answer that. Is it really that serious? As you read or see the stories on ANY news site, ask yourself how pleased Jesus is over the activities surrounding His birthday.
We are creatures of habit.I stay hid and my family goes shopping.AND at my age I don’t worry about proper spelling.
Thank goodness, sanity prevailed and I passed up the opportunity to go at 3:00 A.M. to black Friday. I’ll shop another day when everyone else is back at work. Lots of very brave people out there, hope they found what they were looking for.
@harley1, dag is it that serious, lmbo. People should be able to shop like they want as long as they do it in a respectful safe way.
i cant stand crowds, much less the masses of wild-eyed shoppers hunting and grabbing items before the next shopper can lay ahold of it…just not for me, however, i can see where it can be a yearly “tradition” for friends to look forward to…i must say that online shopping offers many logical advantages, one of which is to give the shopper a moment of sane deliberation before making a purchase, to decide if they (or their credit card) REALLY need that item, or not…..i heard on FOX that today, saturday, is to be the small business black friday day…as the small businesses are often overlooked in the frenzied rush to spend $ at the big box stores…we shouldnt forget our local small businesses and the great impact that they actually have on our economy.
■harley1……..you have a very good point and you are correct, but I think that the fun of it should be accounted for as well. It can be a tradition with friends to do the “Black Friday” thing. I did go out that night and shop, faught the crazy, scary crowd at Walmart, NOT to take away from the REAL meaning of Christmas but to have fun as well.
Black friday across America is a sad indictment of what a Hedonistic and materialistic society we have become. That people would want something that bad can only be defined as a form of lust. The stupid thing is that the same items they are camping out for can be ordered on line at the same price
there is nothing i need that bad!
Way to go, Eric!!!!!
