Black Friday To Shop Or Not

Black Friday.
When did it get so crazy?

Actually Black Friday sales begin at several stores on the evening of Thanksgiving, or sooner.

I have to admit, I've never taken part in Black Friday shopping, although I suppose it could be fun.
Getting up at some crazy hour not long after midnight, gulping down a quick breakfast, warming up the car, mapping out the stores to head to, and go!

I'm not sure I would be able to keep up with the pressure.
The crowds, hoping to get that item on special sale, provided it wasn't snapped up immediately by those people who camped hours (or days) in front of the store to get that wonderful deal.
And then there's the money issue.
Can the checkbook handle the buying frenzy?

Eventually, I will go out to do some shopping, more than likely a few days before Christmas, plus I will do some shopping online from the comfort of my home, but it is fun to go out, get in the spirit of the holiday season, and support our local businesses.

So, whether you shop Black Friday, Cyber Monday or just pick any other day to buy, buy, buy, have a fun experience and be safe.
It can get very scary just driving to your destination, not to mention dealing with the crazy mad shoppers we will encounter this holiday season.
