I like to buy a lot of presents at Christmas time.  I admit it, I am NOT a scrooge!  At least not yet!  I like to buy lots of gifts for lots of people, and play Santa Claus.  Many times I’ll give a gift to someone and simply write “from Santa” on the tag so that they don’t know who actually gave them the gift.  Of course it’s a nice gift (all right, every now and then it’s a lump of coal!) and it brings me a lot of joy to watch them open the gift and see the delight in their faces. 

In order to buy all of those presents, I have to be paying close attention to the Black Friday shopping bargains.  The news station that I listen to was having a story today about shopping on Black Friday and they mentioned using some  Black Friday websites to help find the best deals.  I like the black-friday.net website; it has most all of the merchants that I like to shop with on their list of merchants.  One of the things I like about I’ll be keeping a close eye out for the Black Friday wal-mart ad to see what kind of great bargains I can get online from the Wal-Mart website.  I’ll also be keeping a close eye on the Sports Authority list to see what kind of skiing or skating equipment and/or clothing they may put on their list of specials.   I’ve signed up for their email list so they can send me a notice when they get new ads uploaded from their vendors.
