Well it is that time of year again where we get to wish all our American friends a happy and filling Holiday. Enjoy your stuffing, turkey and pumpkin pie and then go out and shop till you drop on Friday.

May all that are celebrating enjoy their Thanksgiving. To the rest of you, may your weekend be a great one too.

Thanks! Happy Turkey Day!

Heeeeyyyy Happy thanksgiving to all of our American friends!! Have some turkey stuffing for me will ya???? Yummy yummy Enjoy your day! SJ

Happy Thanksgiving!

Good one TJ! Yes, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I will definitely be enjoying tomorrow eating lots of turkey and mashed potatoes with family in the mountains. Then seeing my other granny this weekend... I hope everybody else celebrating has a good and safe holiday... As far as black friday goes, there will be no crazy shopping at 5 am for me. I will be sleeping in and then going in to work late, to many problems and a mess I'm sure... Have a good weekend everybody!

I'm already BF shopping! Gymboree and Newegg started posting their deals online at 8:30 pm West Coast time...

I avoid black friday like the black plague - but for all of you who love it I wish you happy hunting! I'm heading east to spend a few days with family. I was smart this time and am arriving just as dinner is being served - hence avoiding the standard freak out in the kitchen while the family tries to prepare the meal. I hope everyone has a great Thursday - whether or not the holiday is included.

Happy thanks giving. I was tempted to take a sympathy holiday this morning and throw a sickie.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Okay, call me the dumb Aussie (hey, I am blonde, a receptionist, and an ex-cheerleader -- I have no hope for brains) ... But .... What is Black Friday? It sounds like something really really bad after such a wonderful day ... Is it because you're all suffering hangovers from all that good food and booze? Please enlighten me to this one ... I may use it in a fic if it sounds interesting enough ... :grin: SJ

Swan Jun a Black Friday is a specific day on the retail bussiness used to lure customers to buy Items on special prices,for example you may find an Xbox 360 or a Ps2 priced @ $189.00 or $149.00 or something like that. Have a nice day [/FONT]

SJ on CHFY this morning they were saying Black Friday is the Day the Retailers in the States figure they go into the Black with their sales.

It's the day after American Thanksgiving which is the 'official' kickoff to the holiday shopping season. It's like Boxing Day sales in Canada but much, much bigger.

And the rest of go in the red with buying too much! Seriously, I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving have a great day and happy shopping and to those who don't I hope you have a great day too!

LOL! Oh thanks for that, guys .... I felt stupid not knowing what it meant

[FONT=comic sans ms]Swan Jun don't feel like that.....the stupid question is the one that you don't ask... [IMG]http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/9071/galmark5nv8.gif[/IMG] [/FONT]

Yes SJ, must say that I read on the web that a Wal Mart employee was trampled to death in Long Island after they opened the door this morning. Another customer had a miscarriage in all that bustle. While I may be fighting the crowds in a few hours, I have only went early shopping once, I lasted about an hour before getting tired of the crowds. SJ, Normally black fridays biggest sales are between the hours of 5am to 11am. After those hours the prices tend to go up a few dollars, or some items are no longer for sale. People will usually start lining up as early as midnight, to about 3 am for the doors to open.

I'm not fond of shopping at the best of times, but if people are trampling each other -I'm staying away! I do plan to do some shopping today, but solely online.

A lot of people do online shopping now, which has started a new unofficial day - Cyber Monday
