I've never done the Black Friday thingy. I much prefer to spend the time with my family. And, i do not like thronging crowds of rude and pushy people.

Can't agree more with OP.

Not me. I worked retail on Black Friday for 7 years. I stay home and rest. Nothing is THAT important for me to brave crowds and rude people.

Not spending a nickel on Christmas shopping except to buy more ammo, if it is still available.

WHO has extra money to spend?

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because we all hang out together, relax, eat too much, and talk.
Why rush, there won't be anything on the shelves.

Boycott. Boycott. Boycott.
Write them letters, tell them why.
Grab the papers out of the recycling bin, contact the advertisers.
Watch TV commercials and call them and tell them although you may like the show, you cannot stand the broadcast station.
I called Generac today, and told them I wanted to order multiple large generators(I do) but would buy CHINESE garbage before I bought a Wisconsin product with their support of the Anti-American party.

I have seen one before, but has anyone prepared a current list of companies that supported the kenyan idiot boy?
If so, it would be nice to know whom to boycott for the next year.

It's sad to think of the crazy consumerism and greed that drives these shoppers.

Last year I read up on black Friday retail tricks and there are a lot. Big retailers will take a $500 tv in July and slowly raise the price until November. Now all of a sudden it's a $800 tv set being sold for.....$500! What a bargain! They'll also manufacture lower-quality items that look just like a particular model and sell them for doorbuster prices. The consumer thinks they're getting the higher-quality item, but they're not. Buyer beware!

#7, start with Walmart. The heirs gave $1 mil to the kenyan. Starbucks is another one to stay away from. And all you Ldotters that love Facebook, the kid gave $1 mil as well.

Don't these retailers know they are about to spoil what some see as a "tradition" (Black Friday that is). If it now just becomes a two-day shopping thingy, what's the point? People will stop seeing it as something "special". Let the market, however, tell them to stop it, which I hope it does.

By the way, I don't fall for the Black Friday thing. I have no desire to wait in line and then do the mad rush for some bargain. I don't mind buying on sale, but I don't go near shopping centers or malls on black friday and I sure as heck won't do it on Thanksgiving.

My Son is the plant manager at Target and he was afraid they would do this. It means he has to be at work on Thanksgiving at 70PM...

Not me. Obamanomics. My liberal family members are getting cards from me this year stating that I gave their present to someone who needed it more.

Nothing more important than spending this Thanksgiving with my elderly mom and dad. We don't have many more together and they are more important than any stuff anywhere.

Let the slathering mindless Obama masses plow further into debt.

That would certainly be a useful list to have #7. Good idea.

I would just like to state publicly that I will not be shopping on Black Friday.

I would much prefer to see a store or two start their sales on Saturday. Give us some time to spend with our families over the Thanksgiving Holiday.

The Consertive refrain should become ---

Not shopping, I've Gone Galt. FFS

Food, Fuel, Security.

Buy used or Barter.

I guess The Won is handing out government debit cards to his cult members to spend on Black Friday.

As for me, I'm staying home and putting up Christmas decorations and investing time with family...

#9, that was 300K, not $1M ...and that heir bucked the family who have been very generous to Republicans in the past. I'm not saying you don't have a choice, of course; we can all shop or not wherever we want--but in all fairness to the Walton family, we need to have the facts right.

Being a civilian employee of the USAF, I actually have to work the day after Thanksgiving. Some of us actually have to work for the money we're paid, and speaking of, I want the other 20K I'm supposed to be making according to all the reports on civilian pay!

my days of contributing to the retail economy are over. FTS.

The attack on every American tradition continues unabated. ...Just say NO!

I only shop on the web.

I guess they don't know the definition of dine and dash. As waitresses.

I refuse to buy American right now

LOL #8. That is the truth. "There's too much consumin' goin' on..."

No problem. The Obama economy will make sure that all is quiet Thanksgiving weekend.


Girl's Hubby

Even my 8YO daughter is on to retailers, when she was openly disgusted at seeing Christmas decorations being displayed in a local department store.... a week BEFORE Halloween.

Have to agree with #14....that's the only retail establishment you'll be finding me in...btw Smith and Wesson stock up 3.5% in two days when the dow was down 300+....coincidence?
I think not

I am with #6 and #25. I am not spending one dime this holiday season. I dont know many companies that donated to the kenyan but when I eventually see the post, which will come, you can count me in.
BTW, disliked George Carlin but his funniest joke was," How to tell who is a real Klymer,is how long your starbucks order is." $6 for a coffee when you can buy the pot at 7/11 How stupid can you be!

#3 has it right.

The people who will be shopping this holiday season will be using government subsidies to do so (or those who have lucrative government jobs).

But do any dimocrats even celebrate Christmas any more? Hard to imagine how they could square being Christian with voting dimocrat.

I'm going

I'm going to go out of my way to make sure I don't spend one miserable thin dime on Christmas. My wife and I will enjoy the spirit of the day at home.

With the Great Recession Pt II looming don't look for a great retail season this Christmas.

I'll be spending Thanksgiving week with my sister and her obnoxious husband who will be hitting me up for money since he had been unemployed for two years.

I used to own a retail store. My last Black Friday was 21 years ago. I shop on the Internet.

They now call it Black Friday cus uh all the niggas at Walmart.

In with #3. If you voted for Santa Claus then you don't need my Christmas presents.
