There is something VERY wrong with this story:
Wal-Mart Worker Dies When Shoppers Break Down Doors
Now, I’m not all anti-shopping the day after thanksgiving… I’ve gone a few times. Yet, the more I think about it, it does seem sad that the day after thanksgiving, the day we are to be thankful, remembering all that we are blessed with – we have black friday. A day of get, get, get and want, want, want. Seems a bit ironic doesn’t it?
Don’t get me wrong cause I love to shop but I am rethinking this whole black friday shopping day. I’m certianly not judging you if you do go. And I can’t say I’ll never go again, but when I think about it in my heart of hearts, I can’t help but feel that I may not be going in the future. I had such a fun day with the family, playing games and hanging out at home – who knows, maybe this will become my family’s tradition.
What are your thoughts and feelings about black friday?

Not a fan. Never have been, probably never will be. Of course, growing up in the middle of nowhere helps. We couldn’t shop at any big name places if we wanted to. In Crawford, there are only little stores–alot like downtown Kearney. The day after Thanksgiving we spent with mom, decorating the inside of the house and hanging up Christmas lights outside. Many times, we went Christmas Tree hunting in the Pine Ridge. I would much rather be doing these things than fighting crowds anywhere…too many people…too many attitudes…too much money I could be doing better things with getting spent.
