I NEVER go out shopping on Black Friday. I did it once back in the 1980's
went to KMart to buy a suitcase and a toaster.
That took me 6 hours to get the 2 items and get checked out. I swore NEVER
to do that again. So far I haven't.
Since our girls are all grown and out of the house now (2 live out of state) we
just give the them money because they prefer that to gifts. I try to make them
little things, but they don't much like that.
I usually wait at least a week into the holiday season before I venture into the
stores.
