I don't even do groceries on weekends or evenings because I hate the crowds and empty shelves.
I like to get in and get out.
So, no Black Friday for me.
But then, a couple of years ago, I do vaguely remember standing in line at a ToysRus at 7:00 AM to get a Wii.
But that's another story.

Shopping has been hard for me ever since chemo left me with some nerve damage so I don't do marathons. Thanksgiving weekend will always mean family to me anyway. This year there will be up to 34 at my house. Luckily I don't have to do all the cooking. It's hard enough finding all the chairs.:)

Even though I only went the one time with DD, we did not experience the pushing or shoving, we actually had a great shopping day together. AND got to the LQS when it opened, I did miss out on an item I wanted at walmart because I wanted fabric more than anything else!!! LOL

I did it once....once was enough to break me of it forever! I shop only online now. Actually I do very little shopping. I make most of the gifts that I give. It makes me furious that the stores decorate for Christmas before Halloween.....ruins the holidays for me.:roll:
