marvin Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I think the Canadian version of "Black Friday" is December 26th - "Boxing Day." It's nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisy McLintock Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hey Marv I really liked that Black Friday by Steely Dan song you posted. It doesn't sound like traditional Steely Dan to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bessieboo Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I can not imagine there is anything that would get me out to face that mess, not even if they were giving stuff away. I doesn't help that I do not have anything on my list.I can't even think of anything that I want or need or have a place to put ...maybe a 5 carat princess cut diamond.

AnniekNY Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Pete and i went out and had massages!! the traffic was nonexistent and the Kohl's store in Ramsay, NJ was PACKED (well, the parking lot was, I wasn't crazy enough to go in) Our daughter, Marykate, went to work today at 3:30 - midnight at Woodbury Commons Premium Shopping Outlets (10 minutes from us) the traffic was backed up the NY state thruway for miles last night at midnight when the stores opened.

Steeler Deb Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I spent my day leisurely at home enjoying the day with my daughter! What a rare treat! There are no bargains great enough for me to venture out into those crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Do people really enjoy going out shopping today? I'm not much of a store person myself (thank you internet) and God bless FedEx and UPS. When you wake up and it's still dark outside and the traffic copter is showing the lines of cars trying to get into the mall lots (and the drive-thru at Starbucks)and police directing traffic at 4:30 a.m...,I'd rather stay under the covers.

Ecstasy Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Now that's a lady who knows how to celebrate!!! Good job, Julia!My daughter, Laura, and I hit a quiet clothing store that had a selection of sweaters on sale at 7 am. She got lucky, I didn't think they looked good on me so I passed. Afterwards we caught breakfast and then went on with our day. No hysterics for me, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
