I thought humans were supposedly intelligent, so why do they sometimes act worse than animals? No figuring it out. I wouldn't be caught dead shopping Black Friday or the few days after Christmas. Maybe I'm just old fashioned. (Well, old anywayJ).LOL

By this time of year, most of my shopping is done as I shop all year. Any time I am out, if I see something that I think would be perfect for someone, I pick it up. Much less stress on the wallet those last few weeks coming up to the hoidays.
I did shop Joann's online as I wanted a rolling sewing machine case for ME, and some flannel to make pj's for my 6'6" son. He has a hard time finding pj's, even at the tall shops as he has very muscular thighs so most commercially made ones are too tight.
I have never done the madhouse at the stores, and never will. Too crazy!!!

The down side of Black Friday is that most of those who go shopping end up being in the red because they use their credit cards to the max. I believe that if the stores keep their prices the same throughout the year they will get their customers no matter what day of the year it is.

I went shopping on Black Friday But I didn't go in the middle of the night. I still got some bargins and but the crowds were thinning out. I did take a break and visit a quilt shop to get away from the busy mall. It was a welcome break.
