I know you save money, but I wait until later in the day, as most items are really overstocked anyway. A lot of the item are dis-continued and on sale to bring new in for Christmas. Try and get a few bargains for presents, as I don't need a Damn thing, wife, dogs, plenty of food. What more can you want?Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234574746365243566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-89786259702197154422013-11-06T00:55:14.638-06:002013-11-06T00:55:14.638-06:00I like the book cover.

Let people eat with their families or friends and have the day off. Black Friday can start all the deals at a decent time, like 6AM. I refuse to get up early and although I love shopping for the deals, I'd just as soon get there after a good night's sleep. :) Karilyn Bentleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359102189839118744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-68697848993903301532013-11-05T18:22:10.484-06:002013-11-05T18:22:10.484-06:00I love all of Sylvia's books!

Read the article here; http://t.money.msn.com/top-stocks/is-black-friday-becoming-irrelevant<br /><br />Black Friday is a good thing, but if it just becomes another shopping day then it's lost it's power. And with more stores opening up on Thanksgiving, that's what's happening.<br />Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739086544916478044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-52611516523986350752013-11-05T16:18:51.315-06:002013-11-05T16:18:51.315-06:00Hi Vicki,

I hate fighting the crowds and for many years I would buy Christmas through-out the year. But now my list has shrunk and I buy a lot of things online.

Really, for something different to do. The line was too long. We waited forever. And I've never done it again. When I worked retail, Tuesday evenings were the best days to go holiday shopping.

Yes, if we go shopping on Black Friday, it's in a smaller town where my parents live, so it's bad, but not like the metroplex where I live. I don't know if I would stand in line 3 hours for any electronic gadget. I just don't have the patience. Thanks for coming by and I hope you enjoy the book.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739086544916478044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-76060173121658660602013-11-05T14:46:42.398-06:002013-11-05T14:46:42.398-06:00Hi Phyllis,

LOL WE get up really early (though not 3 o'clock) on Friday morning and hit the doors running. <br /><br />I don't want to see the stores opening on Thursdays, although I will admit my sister and I hit Michael's sale every Thanksgiving day. They always open up Thursday afternoon, and oh my goodness you should see the lines. THey are gigantic some years.<br /><br />I will gripe and moan with everybody about Black Friday, but I'll still get up every year and go out and brave the crowds. It is the official start of the holiday season at my house. :-)Kathy Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440759802997389459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-20744245135267105202013-11-05T12:23:06.540-06:002013-11-05T12:23:06.540-06:00I can honestly say I have NEVER shopped on Black F...I can honestly say I have NEVER shopped on Black Friday. It's simply not worth the time and trouble to me.<br /><br />I also don't like stores opening early on Thanksgiving. These workers want to spent time with their families, but the greedy stores like their money more, I suppose. <br /><br />Look forward to you book!Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02842013659811431774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-73006292748892167962013-11-05T11:44:31.967-06:002013-11-05T11:44:31.967-06:00I love black friday shopping!

My mom and I have been going for the last 15 years, but I would prefer stores not open til after midnight so that the employees can spend more time with their families. I know how much it stinks working holidays and missing out on family time. Anyway, half of the fun was standing in line at 2am with my mom freezing, talking with other shoppers and waiting for the store to open at 4am. I love getting good deals! <br /><br />The book looks like a great read. I love Christmas stories!Jennifer Haddadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165740638345872080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-47071343504417887522013-11-05T11:35:27.491-06:002013-11-05T11:35:27.491-06:00Hi Eva,
