I've heard too many horror stories about the Black Friday sales to feel that diving headfirst into the lion's den to get a deal on the newest craze is something I'd be interested in doing.
No, thank you.
A few Thanksgivings ago, I wrote this poem, poking fun at the insanity that is Black Friday. That year a New York Wal*Mart employee was trampled to death by the stampede of shoppers. Sadly, my creative humor was in the right place at the wrong time. I saved it for another year.
I know some people take their Black Friday shopping very seriously, while others look at it much like Roller Derby, full of hip checking and shoving, but having loads of fun doing it.
I've never seen a scarf or lamp or Wii game that was worth my life. I'm still gonna have to pass.
Will you be shopping the Black Friday sales or will you wait until Cyber Monday?
