No, I don't go shopping unless it is absolutely necessary. I go to a parade on Friday morning and put up my Christmas tree on Saturday. People are insane and just down right rude when they are out on Friday morning, I don't know if they ate too much the night before or not enough sleep, but you couldn't pay me enough to be in that mob of people.

It's terrible in the last few days before Christmas and you have to go to an area which has a shopping place in a 3 mile radius, the emotions they have are contagious!

I am absolutely not going shopping on Black Friday. I used to own a restaurant in a mall- I saw what that was like on Black Friday. I do not dare venture out of my house on that particular day. I do not enjoy people that much. People are rude and mean around the holidays, ecspecially on that day. I'll stay home and enjoy my peace.

I usually don't even bother going shopping on Black Friday due to all the traffic, and lines. However, i went out this year and got stuck in THE line from h*ll at 3o'clock in the morning!!! I wound up just getting so frustrated and mad that I didn't get anything except for a book by Khalil Gibran.

Not shopping, but working it, yes in retail too. I have gone in the past years and made my husband go with me because he did not believe what it was like. He says never again. Was worse then deer hunting.

We are always in Johstown, PA for Thanksgiving due to our annual family reunion so we do shop on Black Friday. However, it is a depressed area so while the shopping is heavier than usual, there are no major crowds. We have not had to fight crowds or hunt for parking spaces since the last major flood in 1972.

ALWAYS!! We wouldn't miss it! Once we had to take the kids with us but we ended up getting all kinds of compliments about how well behaved they were. :)

No way. My aunt ventures out every year, but she is out of the house at like 5:30. I'm not that dedicated to sales!

Unfortunately we don't have a day like that here, although I know what it is, I'd personally go. ;)
