I can remember a long time ago (when I was young and naive) I thought it would be a great idea to go Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving.  There had been a lot of thanksgiving circulars in the Sunday paper the weekend before, and I had the day off of work (which was unusual because I almost always had to work that day!)

So, off I trotted to the stores to do some Christmas shopping!  I was so surprised to see that the parking lots were so crowded that I could not find a space to park my car for over an hour!  I drove around the parking lot in circles, over and over again, trying to find a space for my car!  Well, I finally found a parking space and went into the mall, only to find myself elbow-to-elbow with mobs of crazy people, pushing and shoving, all of them very ill-tempered.  I vowed to myself then and there to never go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving again!

Well, it was a couple of years after that when I learned that the day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday, and what it meant, and I came to understand that almost everyone in the world has that day off of work and goes shopping that day!

So I am really glad to have found the blackfridayonline.com website that enables the shoppers to do their Christmas shopping on Black Friday in the comfort of their own home, using the Internet!  I’m looking forward to seeing what the Macy’s store will have on sale for Black Friday; I was given a gift card for that store as a gift for last Christmas and haven’t used it yet – this will be a great chance to use it to buy a gift for someone else!
