I'll likely be taking advantage of some online Black Friday deals, and putting up a Christmas tree.

My parents are going to try and grab some deals.

Working at my terrible, horrible job.

My youth group and I will be giving out cookies to people working at retail stores during Black Friday. They sure as heck need some relief on that day.

Not directly, like just waltzing in and giving them to cashiers. That'd be even more stress inducing.

@moomoo: that's very kind of you and your youth group, but I'd suggest getting in touch with the stores you want to give cookies to beforehand. in a lot of places, that would amount to a 'gift' from a 'customer', and i know where I work accepting such a 'gift' could get me fired (yes, it's just a cookie, yes, it's still against our company rules). I'm sure if you guys were to go around beforehand and ask if you could bake cookies for a few stores' employees or something, they'd probably be happy to accept — or at least point you in the direction of an organization that would be willing (or able) to accept your thoughtful gifts. :3

edit: i just had a thought — if some of you guys' parents work retail, you could probably have them bring you guys' cookies in as a gift from your group. that way you don't have to brave the scary crowds and you can still do something nice :3

@moomoo I agree you should check on company policy. I also agree that that is a very nice thing to do. I wish I had thought of that.

@ideal_hero: there's still time, my friend :3

@TBD Don't worry, we've already started preparations. We're making sure we're doing this the right way.

@Ideal_Hero - I smell a plan!

Maybe someone will bring you a cookie.

@True_Hero I smell a cookie!

I never shop on Black Friday. My big sister is really into dealing and sales and whatnot, but I prefer to stay home where it's safe and peaceful.

I've seen footage of all that selfishness and violence at stores in the recent years on Black Friday.No way are me or my (50+)parents going.

This, and buying games cheap online.

Doing Black Friday for the first time this year. Going to the record store to buy some special edition LPs they're releasing that day for Record Store Day: Black Friday.

Saving up for Wii U so no major buys for me. I might just go to Best Buy though and see what they have.

Since my country seems set on imitating the united states, we're having the "buen fin" ("good [week]end") this weekend, which is the time of the year when stores sell things cheaper or make special offers to initiate the christmas season (completely unrelated to the black friday, seriously)...
I guess we may visit the city to go shopping.

This black friday I guess we'll go in an amazon shopping spree, as usual.

Maybe go out just for the rush of the mobs. lol
Seriously though, I have no plans as of now. Maybe something will come up last minute but probably not.

I'll probably go check out the buy one get one 40% off Wii U games at Toys R Us. Other than that I plan on just hanging around the house.

Even as a Black Friday veteran, I'm a bit perplexed by the 2012 Black Friday sales. Some stores are open all day on Thanksgiving, some open at 7 or 8 at night on Thanksgiving, some are open at midnight on Friday, some at 5am. Some stores are doing their Black Friday sales all weekend while others are having a whole Black November.

Crazy stuff.
