Black Friday (traditionally the first Shopping Day before Christmas) is Tomorrow.
So, what do you folks do on Black Friday?
Set your alarm at 5AM to catch all the "Early Bird" Specials?
Sleep in?
Go shopping, but later in the day to avoid all the hassles?
I HATE crowds, so I'm plankin' myself in front of the TV and watchin' SOAPNET all day long. :wink:
What are YOUR Black Friday Plans?

Posted: 11/25/04 at 10:48pmI usually spend the day at home eating caramels and leftover turkey sandwichs. But sometimes I may have to visit realations.

Jasper,
I ADORE your "fruity" Icon!
Does it have any SPECIAL meaning, or is it JUST a Strawberry or Raspberry? (can't tell which!)

Why yes, Jasper, it's a photograph of Mary Martin and Ethel Merman (my two Broadway Idols) performing TOGETHER.
It is, in fact, very DEAR AND SPECIAL to me.
THANK YOU for asking!

Posted: 11/25/04 at 11:32pmTomorrow is actually the first time since I was in school that I have 'black friday' off. I'm going out to breakfast here with two of my friends who came home for Thanksgiving and then I'm going into the city to pick up a check at my office and meet a friend for drinks. It'll be nice and relaxing :)

Actually it is the first time I've had black friday off in years lol it's been years since I was in school. When I graduated, I was working in banking and we were always open the day after Thanksgiving. There won't be anyone in my office tomorrow and I'm not staying, but I need my check.... it's sitting on my desk and I don't want to wait till Monday for it

Posted: 11/26/04 at 12:05amWe're decorating the house for Christmas, and I'm sure I'll venture out to the mall sometime tomorrow just to see the insane crowds. One thing I won't be doing is working, because I quit my job!! Hooray! No pissy holiday shoppers for me!
