[QUOTE="soberups, post: 437951, member: 14668"] I find the entire concept of "Black Friday" to be utterly repugnant. I refuse to get up at 4:00 AM and be herded into line like a head of cattle being led to slaughter, just so that I can experience the "privelege" of saving $25 on a piece of Chinese-made crap from a big-box retail store. Every year you hear stories of people getting in fistfights, or of brawls and riots breaking out among shoppers who literally camped out all night in a Wal-Mart parking lot. This year, a man was actually trampled to death. It is sickening. My wife and I do our Christmas shopping throughout the year. We like to browse at outdoor Saturday markets or patronize small, local stores. We find neat gifts to buy and then spend months looking forward to giving them to the recipient. We also do some of our shopping online, in our pajamas, kicking back by the fireplace with the dogs at our feet and some nice music playing. We refuse to shop at WalMart, and it has been several years since we have even visited a mall of any kind. I dont feel like we are missing out on anything. [/QUOTE]
