Shopping Fanatics

Black friday: a time where the crazies come out for their goods. I have never been shopping on the day after thanksgiving, but it does interest me. Many friends of mine will wake up at 3 in the morning and head off to an adventure that they will never forget. The thing that scares me most about the entire idea of black friday, is that everyone goes chaotic. Even the most timid parents, grandparents, and kids go wacky. They get angry if someone picks up a certain toy or item before they do, do they not realize it will probably be back on the shelves within the next week? The aggression that people have while shopping during this time makes it seem like what they see they have to have NOW. How much people thrive on materialism is an idea that is supported heavily when you here on the news about people getting trampled.
Trampled! You got to shop and someone gets trampled because of eagerness. This Black friday idea may be taken to the extreme. Who was charged and with what? Crazies, I tell you. Crazies.

I agree! There are still sales going on now so why lose sleep when you don't have to and endanger your life for a gift? Go old fashioned- make your gifts this year!
