I didn't vote because the choices didn't match me. I did go shopping on Black Friday, but I waited until evening. I had ZERO desire to get up at dawn and face crowds of shoppers. This only makes sense if you need a specific thing that is specifically on sale at a special price only in the morning. Otherwise, just wait until later in the day when the crowds thin out. The stores will likely be open all evening with everything on sale. When I was shopping last night, it was only a little busy. When I used to work retail I would always conveniently volunteer for the late shift on Black Friday, so I could sleep in and avoid wrangling with the insane people at 6 a.m.
If there is some super special item for a gift that you are worried will run out, go buy it a day or two before Thanksgiving. Stores usually have pre-Thanksgiving sales too. And, from my experience in retail, stores have good sales all the way through the shopping season. Black Friday is not even necessarily the day with the best prices. |

I guess it could also be considered religious discrimination in a sense to have a christian holiday off? I don't know how large the non-christian percentage of the USA population is though.

The best day to go shopping is next Wednesday, which is the tradtional slowest day of teh Christmas Season. I intend to get the gifts I need that night after work. Then, I intend to not go near the mall for the next four weeks.

We went to get a faucet today (saturday). Not busy at all. Normally I don't go on this weekend as I said earlier, but when the faucet springs a leak (too much cleaning I think during Thanksgiving prep!) you kinda gotta get to it. I was pleased the store was mostly empty this morning. We put off getting it yesterday to avoid the crowds. Nothing on sale at the home improvement centers that was worth mentioning (they always have "sales" but nothing that was a huge improvement over any other day.)

About 10 years ago I was in London on Boxing Day and it seemed like the city was dead (at least the parts I was in). It was so surreal to me because nearly everything was closed and it was so quiet. |

I just wonder if any of the people shopping would make the same effort to find a job if faced with unemployment?
