Okay ladies....Are you getting up and heading to the stores tomorrow for Black Friday? Do you like getting in the crowds and getting the good deals or do you just stay home and shop another time?
We did it oyear and it was total chaos! LOL... My husband has to work so I dont think I am gonna try braving it by myself or with my kids with me! LOL..
I love shopping at the crack of dawn, waiting in line before it opens, with a cup of hot cocoa (I don't drink coffee) and chatting it up. But I won't be doing that this year. Micah is too little to go, and no one can watch him for me. But we will be going out a little later in the day. Chris wants to go shopping without me because he wants to get all of my gifts tomorrow and I hate knowing what I am getting.
I used to go with my dad all the time to the Black Friday sales but haven't since I got married. I don't mind the crowds but I would rather not deal with them if I don't have to and the past few years I haven't seen any deals I couldn't pass up and the couple things I wanted we couldn't afford so it works out well. My hubby had to work today and will as long as he stays with the company he works for now so maybe when my boys are older I will venture out again on Black Friday.
My 13 yr old dd and i have a tradition of going every year since she was about 7 or 8.She loves it.We wernt going to go this year because we realy didnt have any extra $ but we took what little we had and got up at 4 am and went.It is just a fun thing for the two of us to do together.My husband never goes in but he does usualy get up and drive us from store to store so he can drop us off at the door so we dont have to look for a parking spot because usualy we are crazy shoppers on a mission lol,but this year i didnt even wake him up because we were just going for the fun of it not for any realy must have deals.Everyone actually seemed alot nicer this year,no pushing or snatching and everyone even seemed to be nice letting people in line when getting out of the jam packed parking lot.
