Wow, this thread is really making me sad. Although my post count doesn't reflect it, I've been around here for a long time...just enjoyed reading the ads and everyone's comments without feeling the urge to make any useless comments. When I first heard about the midnight openings I texted my college-student son, who has been bf shopping with me since he was 10, and we both agreed that this is going to ruin our tradition. Ahhhh, maybe he will head to Target at midnight this year while his mother sleeps...
