whats everyone planning on getting? I'm hoping to get a nice tv around $200-$250. Don't really know what kind or brand to look for yet but that's my plan.
The Friday after Thanksgiving, generally thought to be when Christmas shopping turns the retailers "profit" from the red into the black. Supposedly that Friday starts the Christmas sales season.
Black Friday is an annual disaster that brings out the worst in people out to get the very best deals and sometimes end up trampling over each other, fighting, and killing for merchandise while others wait to rob the lucky Spartan shoppers outside looking for a good mark. And I think it inspired this movie:
I don't like rushing the season. Christmas is better observed during the 12 Days. All the hooplah leading up to it is tedious. It's much easier to observe it beginning Christmas Eve and following.
The encroachment of the shopping frenzy into Thanksgiving weekend is unwelcome. It turns the focus from being grateful to being greedy, in a heartbeat. Shopping shouldn't be a contact sport either.
