Oh I don't. I avoid it at all costs. It just ticks me off that everyone around me is freaking out about it when I'm trying to relax and eat a damn good meal that I look forward to.
(Maybe I'm just slipping into the "get off my lawn" stage of life.)

To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.
24 candy canes for the Christmas tree....
Cost me $1.76
Damn! Im on a roll!
:P
The fruit ones or peppermint?
Peppermint.
But I did see the fruit ones!
And a little later on today, I am going to come here and give everyone my opinion on Black Friday, and the people I am watching here on the internet fighting over T.V/s and tablets. Because calling these people pieces of shit, is just the beginning.
If you come across butterscotch ones can you buy em and send em to me? :angel:
I had those ONCE as a wee lass and every single fucking year I look for them to no avail. :evil:
I went to Target sunday. It was still busy as shit. I think some black friday shoppers got lost and couldnt find their way out. No more stores for me. Or parking lots. I'm out.

I have worked today and will also work more tomorrow. Oh well.
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
At this point it's more like black November. I think there should be a law that stores that have black Friday sales shouldn't be open until 5:00am Friday morning. For the past 10 years, my wife has left for black Friday shopping earlier and earlier. It's to the point now where she's leaveing at 6:00pm Thursday evening. I don't like at all that shes out all night with money and gifts. I can't go be suss most of the time I have go work. It's a safety issue that needs to be addressed.

The upcoming holiday season represents a high point for shopping and consumer spending. Lamentably, it also represents a major increase in waste, which is shown to be detrimental to the environment. From Thanksgiving to the New Year, we generate 25 percent more waste than average.
What do we consume over the holidays?
• 125,000 tons of plastic packaging • 744 million holiday cards • 8,000 tons of wrapping paper
The wrapping paper alone is the equivalent of approximately 50,000 trees, an indication that holiday waste is nothing to scoff at. With so much of this waste being a by-product of shopping for and sending gifts, let's look at perhaps the biggest culprit of it all: Black Friday.

I have a beautiful day off from work after a holiday. I don't have to cook dinner tonight because I have a full dinner left-over from what I made yesterday.
The last thing I want to do is spend the day with a bunch of bargain hunters in a crowded store!!
Here in Canada we are now plagued by Black Friday ads and sales, despite the fact that our Thanksgiving is in October so we don't have a holiday on either the Thursday or the Friday. Seems we got the worst of both worlds.

Is this really where the term originated from ?

That doesn't make much sense to me.
I've been against it no matter who is president years before it was cool. Small Saturday is better.
