    I'm Canadian, so we don't have this awesomeness.

    I just came here because I liked the title.

    I'll probably be working a lot... I work at a liquor store (so really busy the day before Thanksgiving) and at The Gap (Black Friday craziness). Both places are at least closed on Thanksgiving itself.

    I usually just go wherever my mom and sister want to go! Unless I see a specific item at a specific store, I'm down to go wherever. The only place I know for sure is Starbucks. My mom and I have to go to Starbucks every Black Friday. We need our caffeine.

    I'll be working from 9pm Thanksgiving night until at least 6am on "black Friday."

    I don't go shopping on that day. There is nothing in the world that I want to spend money on that badly from a retail establishment to leave my boyfriend, bed, and sleep for. If I didn't have to work, it'd just be another normal holiday weekend.

    Definitely not complaining about making time and a half + and extra $2 an hour, though! :tongue:

    It's a tradition in my family for the ladies to go and shop black friday, Midnight until noon...LOL!! Then we go eat lunch!! I look forward to it every year. Unfortunately this year, I don't have a game plan yet because my kids haven't even said what it is they want!!!!!! But I"m still going shopping!!

    Hell no! The holiday season is about family, not shopping. You couldn't pay me to go to a store on any of those days.

    I agree! I am actually 90% done with shopping. Only children will receive gifts. It became to much to get all of the adults gifts and their children. I did that for years and maybe received 1 or 2 gifts in exchange. I know its better to give than to receive but I was spending too much. I give gifts to all kids 16 yrs and younger. After that their parents can take care of the gift giving. As for my daughter she will receive 3-5 gifts (depending on cost) for Christmas. I will teach her the real meaning of Christmas which is not buying 100s of gifts and breaking the bank...
