This idea of "I hate black friday, it's only for greedy people" will change once you have a family of your own and your little son or daughter want this dumb 70.00 toy and you want to give them the best Christmas. I'm not a big black friday shopper, but I give it up to the parents who do that to get that one toy their kid wanted. Thats a good parent to me.

What exactly is black friday?

Here, the day after Thanksgiving (which is always a Friday) is made into a GIGANTIC SALE where all the things in stores are like more than half off and people go NUTS. There are huge lines piling outside the doors of people waiting to run in.

Oh okay.

I tried to imagine what it would be like if they had that where I live but then I just laughed because where I live is like a graveyard.

Not everyone is greedy, I spent a lot of money on toys for tots yesterday. I believe that on Christmas that every child should have something to open. 

I know. Not everyone is greedy. The storeowners can find this a great opportunity to get more money, but then again, they sometimes thrive on it...unless they are owners of Ritz Carlton. I am joking, but you get my point, correct?

Normally the sales on Black Friday were at least that same price at another point of the year in the same store.
I honestly just like going shopping on Black Friday to one, get holiday gifts out of the way, and two, laugh at all the people that sit outside stores Thanksgiving night. It makes me giddy, really. So funny.

The store owners are just doing their jobs. And don't talk down to her because she did a nice thing for someone. She is being a good person and wants a family who doesn't have much to have a nice Christmas. Who cares how much she spent on the gifts? The point is that a family who doesn't have much will have a nice Christmas
