Jen08 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 For me, my favorite part about BF is the ride to the mall which is a good 50 minutes away. Its pitch dark with very little cars on the road until I get closer to the city where the mall is and listening to Christmas music. If I am alone, I get some ALONE time for mama and a moment to just sit in peace and quiet and just think about things. If I am with my MIL, then we chat but its just so calming until we hit the mall and then the adrenaline kicks in. :) I also like to get home and take everything out the bags to see what great deals I've gotten. Then I count how much money I didn't spend and realize I got some great deals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassyaztec Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 spending time with my sister. I don't get to see her much, but we are both all about the BF shopping experience. It's fun and then we get lunch together. Our family thinks we are crazy, but it's fun for us and something special we get to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiapeach717 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 i love the adreneline rush, but I also love the people I meet in line every year since I am usually alone or just with my mom. You meet some of the coolest people outside TRU or target at 2am and by the time the doors open you are rooting for them too, maybe even shopping with them in mind to help them too! I love that! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennie_bebe Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I also love the drive to the store and the adrenaline rush, but I think most of all I like being part of something bigger than myself (the line waiting to get in the store). And, yes, I fully realize how corny that sounds...but it is the truth! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansieDZ Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 It's the Kick-Off to Christmas! The weather,the music,the rush,......just about all of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakyma Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 It is part of the Tradition...even with some of my family in other states, we are on the phone with each other all night...and if one can't get something the other one will and we have been known to buy and mail it with the other Christmas gifts we send...LOL....those of us that are close by, we get together on Thanksgiving evening have dessert and plot and plan the final attack....It's all about spending a great time shopping with family and friends...the official start of the Christmas season at our home.

highxflyer Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I love the adrenaline rush and I also think it's fun. It's become tradition now. I prefer shopping over anything! It's a nice break from the craziness that's Thanksgiving at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angied64084 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I always meet my MIL and SILs at the store, so I really enjoy the drive into town, the anticipation increasing as you get closer and see more cars/people. I always have fun talking to people in line and have met some fun people. Also, I have an old acquantance (sp?) that the only time we actually see each other is on BF. She usually finds me at Kohls or Target and we visit in line, share pictures of the kids and review our purchases so far in the day. It's neat.

angelashly Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 This is going to be my first Black Friday out..Wish me luck!Good Luck you will have so much fun! For me it is a tradition that we have been doing since I was probably 11 or 12 and it is just so fun hanging out with my mom and sister. I love planning and the stores and it is a kick off to Christmas. I love finding my family the perfect gifts and it is a plus when it is cheaper.

jrmslm Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 It's the start of the season and the rush to get out early when the stores are opening.

clhardison Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My cousin and I drive 65 miles every year and get to the stores when they open. We both love shopping WITHOUT KIDS and then we treat ourselves to Olive Garden every year for lunch. We have been doing this for the last 5 years and look forward to October when the ads start coming in. We wished we could shop all day but our husbands are usually calling us about 3 pm asking if were done yet. They just dont understand. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PentiumMMX Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I enjoy the thrill ride of fighting the crowds. That's easily the best part of it in my opinion, because it's not everyday a trip to Wal-Mart or wherever feels that epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
