Nope. I hunker down and avoid the madness at all cost. Everything about it is completely unappealing to me.

Finishing up a 6th brewing of the last of my OTTI8 Zencha Fuji. :mrgreen:

Most black Fridays I spend carefully not shopping, but today after our movie mom mentioned that we wre right near a favorite store whose branch local to me had closed. We braved the outlet mall and survived, with a great score for my work wardrobe at 40% off. Thanks mom!

Only a few cups of dayu Shan oolong to end the almost tea-free day.

No shopping--I was going to order a high-end laptop but the price actually INCREASED substantially on 'Black Friday'. :( Ah, well, I suppose that I will have to await the next deep discount. I sort of missed the 'Black Friday' madness by shopping during the days prior, during the 'pre-Black Friday' promotions, the 'calm before the storm', if you will.

No shopping. I do as little shopping as I possibly can and never on black friday. A few years ago I forgot it was black friday and went out to buy something. I was stuck in traffic forever.

That is exactly right! My wife and I actually went to one of the largest malls in Dallas the day before Thanksgiving for some personal affects and it was practically empty.
