I would rather claw my eyes out with a spork than go shopping on Black Friday. My mom never took me when I was younger, perhaps that is why I hate it?

6 Months Booking our next cruise6 Years In a cute little house with some adorable babies running around
I am with you there, Britt. After working in retail through college, I have had enough of the Black Friday shopping craziness.
This year, H and I are doing Thanksgiving on Friday since he is on call for Thanksgiving and will likely be a work a good part of the day.
