FYI - Rather than deal with all the lines, last year I did my Black Friday shopping at Joann's online. It was their first year of doing so (I think) and the online shoppers crashed their website for several hours - past the time for some of the specials. However, when their website finally came back up they honored all my purchases that I had been trying to buy before the crash. A lot of the major retailers have all their specials online now and it is great!
