DH and i tend to avoid black friday like the plague
especially since i tend to HATE marathon shopping... and some of my gifts are handcrafted, so it's not really necessary, anyway.
last year, i went out... but i only went to one department store, and that was only to get some badly needed shoes. oh, and i DID go to the little bead store where i get a lot of my jewelry-making supplies, but that wasn't quite the same. LOL
this year, we're traveling to spend Thanksgiving with family, on the Colorado River, so we won't really even be anywhere to go shopping. oh
darn!
