Black Friday marks the first day of shopping spree up to Christmas. I can see that traffic is crazy especially in mall area. When I drive down through highway, I can see the mall parking lot is full pack, up to the curb. Highway exit is jammed because of mall entrance. I don't know why people are so obsessed with Black Friday. Is the saving really worth enough the time, and effort to get into it? Besides how many items are these people buying? Thanksgiving brings a true good meaning. But it's already being shadowed out by the Black Friday shopping spree.

I hate the pre-Christmas rush, and the crowds, so I have learnt to purchase my Christmas gifts throughout the year, it saves having to spend out a large sum all at once, I can stretch the cost out throughout the whole year, I even went on vacation and came back with some great Christmas gifts, I store them in one place so I know where they are when the time comes. I find that I can get bargains all year round and don't need to wait for Black Friday to save money.

So true! Traffic is big specially when there's mall around the area. Black Friday is good for those people who has money to buy stuff.
