Our family draws names from a hat, so you can concentrate on wowing that one person. I have my son this year and am making him a quilt. Oh! And for some reason, he asked for a loofah. So, as a joke, everyone is going to find him the funniest loofah they can and give it to him. So instead of showering with a loofah, he is going to be showered with loofahs. Can't wait to see how he reacts! LOL

Would love to see a picture of your son with all his loofahs. :)

never, do not want to deal with the crowds or the craziness

Only if I find a great deal. I never went until 3 years ago . It was quite a bit of fun and people were very friendly serving hot chocolate and lending a blanket while waiting for the store to open. I don't think I will go this year as there hasn't been anything that I've seen so far that I need or want. Instead have been shopping on line. This may all change once I review the flyers this Sunday! Lol

There are no sales fantastic enough to lure me out of the house on Black Friday. I did the BF thing once some 20 years ago and that was enough for a lifetime.

DH and I usually take a car ride by the malls to see just how busy/empty they are. DD has to be at work at 4:00 am on BF. Her store opens at 8:00 pm on Thanksgiving! Aren't there any holidays anymore?

I'm not going out on Blk Friday - got plenty of time after to get shopping in at good sale price. And definitely am not going shopping on Thanksgiving day.

Yes I am going OUT!!!! When I was younger I went out at 3:30 am. Hot coffee in hand and power bars. But this year I will be in New York seeing the sights. I hope to get to a quilt shop. Don't know what's available but we are living our dreams.

I will be there on Black Friday to get what I can for Project Linus. Last year our Hancock's had only 2 clerks on duty, including at the register. The store wasn't terribly full, but it took forever to process people. They told me today that things would be better this year. I hope so.

I just got a flier in the mail w/ 70% off anti-pill fleece. End price being $2.99 to $3.89 a yd. The sale is for Saturday Nov. 30th.

By the time I get through cooking the Wednesday night before and Thanksgiving Day, I'm ready for a real rest, which would not include shopping on BF. People just seem to lose their common sense and courtesy on BF! No way! LOL
