Black Friday Anyone?

I LOVE Black Friday!  I look forward to it every year.  I pick up the babysitter at 5AM and head out.  I always have a plan of which stores I'm going to in the order that I'm going to them and what to buy at each store.  I get in, get what I want and get out.  No lolly-gagging.  I'm usually home by 11AM and have the bulk of my holiday shopping done in just those few hours!  Hubby was able to come with me last year and is going to again this year.  It is nice to get out together, even if it's not a traditional date.  The only thing is, we can't really shop for eachother when we go together.  So, are you excited for Black Friday or do you avoid shopping that day?

I love going out on Black friday...my husband and I usually hit Tangers on Long Island. This year though I won't be able to make it because I'm heading to Virginia to visit my brother who returns from Iraq on Tuesday! :O)

Usually my dh and I make the day of it, he even asks for the day off if it doesnt fall on his day off (hes a cop) anyway we are up and out the door by 430...I LOVE it...but this yr we are decorating all day instead because we leave the next day for our home away from home.....Disney! So Im a little bummed we wont be going this yr but I need to get my decorating done cuz I wont want to do it when we get back from vacation! Plus our sons are older so they are just getting VISA gift cards this yr. 2 are moving away at the beginning of the yr one to AD Army and one to NC so the money will come in handy...all that being said I LOVE Black Friday!!!

I would rather poke my eyes out than venture into a store on Black Friday.  I'm waiting for Cyber Monday.

I pretty much live for Black Friday haha. Every year Im up at 3, out the door at 4 and am shopping all day. I hit every sale I can find and get all my shopping done in one day. Then when I get home hubby gives me a massage and I  end up falling asleep. I keep telling him he should've gone into massage therapy instead of culinary arts.

Neither really. I don't get excited for it, but I don't avoid it. Just another day to me. I've shopped before on black friday, but I don't think I've ever planned ahead to.

 Can't wait. I go every year. I have my list of stores and what I want and if I get it, great, if not no big deal, I'm not getting into a fight over it. I alright have my Walmart list made.

 I never have any money that day  lol.  I usually dont' get my shopping $$ saved up enough till the week before Xmas lol.  this year we have some saved up and I've given it a thought or two.  But I hate crowds.  Plus that Early in the morning  I couldn't be held responsible for my actions if someone was to Annoy me  lol
