Guess what? I like Black Friday! I've gone out at midnight a few times and stood in lines for hours in the past and even enjoyed that. I have never seen anybody hurt, threatened, angered, or nasty beyond the usual occasional grump you'll meet in life. I have seen a lot of family and friend groups out having a blast. I've never gone for the hottest items, but have gotten the kind of deals that allow me to get nicer items (mostly household items, actually) for discount prices. I can't stand in lines like that any more, so I've done a lot of Black Friday type shopping online instead. I am a sucker for a great deal. Today we went out (around noon) and stopped a few places to check some items out. The atmosphere was festive and excited. We were delighted they still had some of the limited Build-A-Bear Christmas 2013 critters. I've managed to get one each year for 4 or 5 years running now and I love the collection! This year they're sock monkeys. I have a serious weakness for sock monkeys. Because of the way things worked out we actually got one for me AND one for each of the girls too! I'm sure there are plenty of examples of greed and selfishness, but we've enjoyed the fun, festivities, and party of it all! via Facebook
