ReplyDeleteI managed to avoid Black Friday, but mostly because I just had too many things to do here at home. I don't have an issue with it in theory, but I wish stores would just spread out their specials a little bit longer, just to avoid the press of flesh and injury that seems to happen *somewhere* every year on Black Friday. A little perspective goes a long way, folks.
