Good one. I don’t think I would go into a store on black Friday either. The crowds look scary.

This was just brilliant and really summed up Black Friday. I swore I wouldn’t go out either and ended up heading out at 8 pm to grab my daughter a Nook for a great price. Really wasn’t too bad by then.
@Kathy, good that you grabbed the Nook, reading books is a good habit 🙂 despite the crazy Black Friday rush 🙂
I can’t ever fathom shopping on Black Friday. I’m sure this happened many times. Well done!
