We normally go into it with 2 different laptops, we split what we want from each store and both go at it. Reduces the amount of time it takes to get that order in. I usually have the CC numbers prepped (sometimes ready to be cut and pasted into place to speed up the checkout time. Using this method we have been pretty successful at getting what we want. If the order from a store is small then the other will take another store. We know to do it in smaller lots not try and put everything in the cart at some time (some don't show up till the last minute) and then checkout.

It will depend on when we get in our new house but usually we start right around Thanksgiving. Real tree will come early December but most everything else is Thanksgiving.

I remember going out with my grandmother and mom when I was younger so it's been more years than I want to admit lol. I know I have been doing it at least the past 17+ years on my own lol.

This reminds me of the time I was in line at Target and there was a KB Toys across the parking lot. KB was supposed to open about 1 hour before Target but I did not need anything there so I waited for Target. About 5:30 the KB people started to come over very unhappy. KB was unable to open because someone had put super glue in the locks and they were waiting for a locksmith before they could open
It was probably the person in the store who was arranging everything so only they could get what they wanted
Once they got their stuff hidden they snuck off to hide and take a nap until the locksmith got there and they "opened", at which point they slipped out into the crowd and then went to their hiding spot to gather up their bounty and go pay for it.-

Got my daughter hooked on it last year. She will start asking about it soon. We have the whole collection on DVD with Rudolph, Santa and Frosty. Childhood favorites of both mine and my wife's.

We bought a few things online the last few days for our daughter. Some of it has already arrived. The season is NOW ON.

I don't know exactly why, but I find this post as kind of sad. Call me a purist, but to qualify as a traditional Black Friday shopper, you need to be out and about on that day, otherwise you are a general consumer who happens to be online during the same day that most others are actively participating. With that being said, I am an avid supporter of your right to do so, and only hope that the online experience can be as fruitful for others. I know that the online experience has been spotty in the past, but is trending towards a more reliable alternative as servers and stock levels of merchandise increase. Good luck this year.
I think it's the thrill of the hunt for me, the tradition of it all. To be out there to do the things we have done year after year, yes we get some online but to be honest I LOVE that feeling when you find that BluRay box set of your favorite show that someone hid inside of a microwave to come back for later on and yes this has been something we have done along with a door buster GPS hidden behind cameras and a few other things. HAHA we rule at B.F. hide and seek

Ours was a higher end item. 50" Toshiba Plasma TV back in 06. The TV was in BestBuy for around $2600 on sale most of the year, B.F. it was a DoorBuster and we got it for $1499 with free delivery and setup. 0 problems with the TV to this day, when we relocated from FL to MI in July we gave it to my inlaws to replace their failing DLP (that was purchased a few months before ours and was on it's 3rd bulb). They are still enjoying it now and to be honest I really don't see that changing anytime soon.

Not bad but nothing really jumping out at me.

Never camped out and can't say I ever would. I enjoy the time with family and friends far too much. We just get up stupid early to go out lol.

At least the list of people I have to try and beat out has shrunk some lol

We usually have our normal Christmas Eve get together, then my wife daughter and I open our Christmas PJ's make some hot chocolate, load into the car and drive around looking at lights in the neighborhoods. Our little one (now 3 will be 4 by Christmas this year) usually falls asleep in the car. When we are done looking at the lights we drive home and get her in bed and get ready for Santa to show up. We have been trying to read her a Christmas story before we go out looking at lights also.
Christmas day we have been doing a brunch for immediate family with French Toast Casserole, Hash brown casserole and bacon.
This year may change things some since it will be our first year living up north (I was born and raised here but moved to FL 16 years ago, wife and daughter are born and raised in FL) though we plan to keep as much of the traditions as possible.

Best Buy and Toys R Us.

Yes indeed we do. Hoping this year to get a great deal on a 65"-70" TV for the new house
We also pick up movies and things for ourselves and usually the box set for sitcoms we watch.

Unless they have changed Alienware is usually only sold online. They are very high end and usually you order to your specs. I'm not sure about great sales but I have seen sales on their web pages just don't remember the time of year.
-
We usually look at things all year long. This year we moved states so we ended up only picking up a couple of things. We do a lot on BF though and then finish up all the smaller things between then and Christmas.

Department 56 seems to be a very collectible brand. I think many places have them but we usually look at them (starting to collect once the new place is finished) at a place here called Bronner's they have online sales also if you want to look.

I think one of these years I'm going to make it my goal to collect on DVD/Blu-Ray or Digital all the Christmas movies I ever watch. I would like to get most of them in Digital so I can just stream them around the house.
