Here in USia, this Friday is called "Black Friday," and is considered the kickoff to the holiday shopping season. So, who from NSG would you take shopping with you on "Black Friday"?

I hate shopping to begin with, so the idea that I'm going to subject myself to the largest, most die-hard shopaholic crowds of the year is laughable, regardless of how much money I might save by doing so.

Then again, I could have fun with it if I tried...*dreams up ways to piss off other shoppers* :p

I take my husband, we take walkie talkies, we map out the store, have our agenda, and split and meet up later.......we keep in contact via portable radio/walkie talkie.

We are up at 2am and hit 5 stores before 8am and then come home and sleep until noon. *nod*

LG, so I might get away with a foodfight in a shop on the grounds that "he started it" :p

I am. My husband actually proposed to me on black Friday, apparently he figured out after seeing me in action that I was probably sturdy enough to put up with him.

I refuse to set foot in a store between Thanksgiving and Christmas for anything but food. To hell with other things, just stock up before hand.

I hate traffic and I hate crowds, so I won't be shopping on Friday - I'll be happily ensconced in my big, puffy easy chair reading a good book, watching Holiday programing on TV and knitting a scarf.

When I finally do go shopping, I'd love to take Smunkee - she's organized and she knows where the bargains are.

Oh goodness ... in the interest of preserving whatever goodwill I have on NSG, I would not force any of you to go shopping with me.

I'm like shopping with a squirrel. About as random, too.

hmmm im thinking MELKOR.

i have this notion that we (how either of us could be convinced to do this i have no idea) could sit in a coffeeshop in the mall sipping espressos and making snide comments about the people passing by and about the things they are buying.

in my imagination, melkor has a dry, cynical, biting sense of humor that would be perfect for such a day.

No, you are not taking me. I'm too cheap and I absolutely hate shopping.

I shop for everything on the web. Thank god for free shipping deals. I get too angry at people when I go to the stores. "I'm supposed to be in the holiday spirit MFer but I've been driving around the parking lot for an hour just to find a spot. Then I'll go inside and you'll be there wanting me to say something cheerful to you. Merry Fing Christmas to you then now get out of the way of my path to Sephora and FYE (The only stores I seem to care for in megamalls)."
