That sounds like fun, but I doubt they have that up north because Thanksgiving was last month.
At least Boxing Day is coming up. I can't wait!

ETA: For those who don't know, Boxing Day is the day after Christmas. I suppose it's the Commonwealth countries' (or at least Canada) equivalent to Black Friday when stores sell all their extra things for low prices.

Yup! Me and My aunt will be heading up to the Mall of America for the day

I'm pretty excited, its a 2 hr drive there, but it'll be well worth it!

Gah! Forget it! Sounds like our "Boxing Day" which is the day after Christmas sales and the stores are crazy!!!!!!!!!! I went once and I've never seen so many insane people in my entire life!

The best sales though..I buy so much on Boxing day...me and my ex used to actually exchange gifts on new years so we could take advantage of the sales on boxing day.

This year I will probably buy a mp3 player

Every year we have gone shopping on Black Friday. We go to PA to see my grandmother and other family from my mom's side, and we always go to the mall. There's a lot of people there, but its never real crazy or anything.

Not me...I'm not that brave to face the madness of black friday. Well, that, and I hate shopping.

No way. I never find that I save that much money to make it worth the crowds and long lines at the checkouts.

My aunt and Mom are trying to get me to go, but the year I stood in line at Wal-mart for an hour in the freezing rain, then almost lost my place in the mini-van cause we bought so much
kinda did me in, plus its one of my few days off work, so I want to sleep in!!!

Nope, not a chance. I can't handle the crowds and I'm basically not a shopper. For those who are going to brave it, have fun!

I live in an apartment directly across the street from the mall. How could I not go? I don't even need to find a parking spot I can just walk.
