Black Friday

Nick and I will stay away...far away… from shopping malls tomorrow. (For those of you reading this, who aren’t from the U.S., tomorrow is known as Black Friday - the day most people start their Christmas gift shopping and put retail stores “in the black” for the first time all year.) It’s not that we don’t want to get a good deal, we just want to avoid scenes like this:

If we do any shopping tomorrow it will be online. Amazon.com, for example, is offering ”Black Friday Deals” - hourly deals from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PST along with thousands of products on sale. Also, customers will get gift wrapping for $.99 per item.

Of course, since Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, maybe we should spend a little more time with loved ones, giving thanks for what we already have.
