Black Friday-boon or bust?

As a Canadian I have heard many things about Black Friday. That it is much bigger and better than the Canadian version, of Boxing Day. Maybe because I only went to Grand Forks and not futher south, was where my disapointment might lie. I will however say all my shopping is done. I do need to get some gift certificates but thats painless and easy.
My best buy was glass balls to hang on the tree that have digital photo displays. $18.00 from $44.00. And will make great gifts to 2 family members.
We haven't had to much snow yet, it better be here for December 26th. We go out to my sisters house for a day outside, sledding, and tubing around their 20 acre parcel of land and then inside for a well deserved meal. Of course the men folk stay outside and stuff their faces in front of the fire my BIL has built. Shrimp, chicken wings and other snack type foods. but at the end they are full and can't eat the wonderful meal my sister has painstakely made.
Christmas at work is getting busy with various parties for the community. I currently work in the inner city at a community centre. Lots of fun and of course makes me so grateful for the things in my life.

The Black Friday all depends on what you want. If you don't want something that is on sale - no big deal. But some of the sales are great!! Here is hoping for some snow for you.
