I used to go out on Black Friday when I was younger. I remember the stores used to actually give out free stuff to the first few # of customers who came thru the door. That was fun. Does anyone know? Do they still do that anywhere? It was always bitter cold here in Michigan, dark outside, and your standing in line to be let in a store that wasnt open yet. People pushing and shoving. It was pretty much maddness. yet, I too did it. Like givennsz was saying, it is usually disappointing nowdays. The store never has many of what they advertise, and it usually ends up being a wasted trip. Been there done that. Blahh. Hoping all that go out today shopping, they are safe, and successful in their hunt for Christmas gifts. Have fun..... Pam
