My cousin and I went on Black Friday years ago when we were in our early 20s. We got pushed around by so many rude people fighting over things, trying to break into checkout lines and being just nuts. We couldn't even get in anywhere to eat lunch until well after 4 p.m. It was a nightmare and we never did it again.
One of my DILs and the oldest granddaughter go every year REALLY early. They know pretty much what they want and where they are going. I was tempted one year to go with them, but I really didn't want to get up at 3 or 4 am to shop. I probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with them anyway. LOL! I'll probably do some cleaning and put up a tree that day instead!
