I'm not sure if it's the fact that my list has been planned and nothing on it is at a drastic reduction, or if the crowds have gotten me rolling my eyes at Black Friday ads, but I couldn't care less!

Same here! The only thing I "might" go out for, on Saturday, is our Christmas tree. We budgeted for a real one this year, and I can't wait to see it strapped to the top of my car as we bring it home to decorate it. :-D As far as the malls go, I'm just going to stay home and watch the "Mall Watch" updates on the local news. They fly helicopters over all the malls in the Atlanta metro area, and they show how crowded and crazy the malls look, and then alert shoppers to where they might be able to find parking ("There's about 20 spaces, it looks like, over near Sears, near the upper level entrance!") :-D They say it'll be below freezing here tomorrow morning. I'm so glad my shopping is done. I'd hate to have to stand out there in the cold for hours, waiting for the doors to open. :-D

We don't usually get the paper but we're about to walk down to the gas station and pick one up. DH really likes doing Black Friday shopping so I put a couple of items off and if they are on sale away he goes.

Personally, I'll be sleeping as late as my children let me.....(maybe we'll make 6 a.m. LOL)

If I wasn't almost done with my Christmas shopping, there would be a few things I might brave the crowds for but since I only a have a few people to buy for I'm not tempted by much of anything. I will probably go out in the rush this afternoon after work but that's more because I like the hustle and bustle of the season rather than actual shopping. I'll be so glad when I'm done that way I can just sit back relax and enjoy the season.
