As you can see I'm at home today and I'm not going near the malls Wal-Mart, K-mart, or any other retail stores today or at all this weekend. Not me.
I don't like the crowds and fighting through. Besides my job is to buy games and toys, not socks and chothes that's where my wife comes in to buy the useful things I'll buy the things that I, I mean the kids like to play with.

Our Wal Mart was opened on Thanksgiving Day and I worked from 11am to 8pm when we closed. At 7pm the campout line started for Black Friday. We opened at 5 am today and will be opened until 12 midnight . All our sale items were hidden in the garden department wrapped in black so we could not see them. They brought them out to the floor after we closed. We has a 4gb san disk memory card for 10 dollars.  |

I was working on Black Friday, but since I work at a restaurant, we weren't really that busy. I'm so glad I don't work at the mall, Wal-Mart, or places like that.
Jason I can understand not saying what you got for your dad. When I was much younger, I always told my dad what I got for my mom and vice versa, and they would always tell the other what I got for them. Now my parents just give me ideas for Christmas gifts, and I buy that, and a surprise for each, and I don't tell them when I'm going to buy it, either.

It s better not to tell anybody and that way nobody can tell anybody accidentally. Or on purpose.

Can you believe that? How bad can it get? Obviously that was a freak accident but it's still as if regard for getting what you want first is more important than human life. This guy doesn't bargain to be a stampede victim over a shopping spree. |

Sometimes it's kind of fun to be there in the thick of Black Friday. Of course I don't mean what happened to that poor guy. But I woudlnt' like it if I was under buying pressure but to be shopping as an observer is part of the fun. ;D

I saw it at our Wal Mart up close and personal. People were rude and cranky by the time I got to work. Then all weekend long they came back to return stuff. "Sticker Shock" I called it. Finally, they realized they bought way too much stuff.  |

The stores are still pretty mobbed. Not like they are on Black Friday but I had to wrestle my way through a few days ago. I'm almost done though. I don't mind buying but wrapping I hate.

I'm glad that I'm done with my Christmas shopping. Today I finished wrapping the gifts, which I don't mind. I really do enjoy wrapping presents. For some reason it relaxes me.

I like wrapping. I think its a girl thing because Classic would take the stand more like Phil. He doesn't mind the buying part but wrapping is not his cup of tea either.

i have almost everything done
my sister is too little for the funner toys that need your attention because she cant focus on things long enough yet
and you cant get her little stuff cause she will try to taste them that means no clay and none of the little ring things
the assorted plastic dinasors are probably safe enough
my brother is 5 so getting him stuff is easier he is amused by everything that is a toy or game toy cars swards squirt guns he likes everything
i hope by next year my sister will be just as easy to pick things out for
