As I was driving home last night, I passed a sign on the highway while going by a mall. It read: "Parking lots open at 11pm on Thanksgiving." Might as well pass up Thanksgiving dinner, and tailgate at the mall. (BBQ turkey anyone?)
Usually on Black Friday I try to stay far away any shopping areas, but I need to get a birthday present for my mom (for Monday). I'm also looking for a good digital SLR, but have avoided looking at any ads. Just the idea of trying to shop on Friday is pretty scary, having done it before.
