The anticipation, planning and excitement. And the last few moments before the door at BB opens.

While I love everything about Black Friday, and look forward to it every year, my favorite part is spending the day with my Gramma.

My favorite thing is the excitement of wake up super early (maybe this year don't even go to bed at all) be in line with my attack plan, and get ALL the items that I want from all the stores. It is my own satisfaction and mission accomplished to get everything and so far I have been successful every year. Also, the snow globe from JCPenney.

I love the planning. I spend HOURS on GottaDeal.com checking out the ad previews, reading the forums, planning where I am going to go first.

My favorite thing is that after Thanksgiving dinner, my sister comes over and we recheck our ads and list. Then, we try and take a nap (usually never happens, too EXCITED:) We make sure we got everything and then get ready to ROLL!!

[HappyHolidays]

Definitely finding the best deals! I love looking thru all the early ads! I love spending the time with my sister and friends! We always meet some great people while waiting in line! It's always a lot of fun. Although we now just stay up on thursday since the stores open so early on friday!

the fun of shopping with family

[Yakyma]

It is the official kick off of the Christmas Season for our family and a major Holiday Tradition at our house...that is the best thing about Black Friday...the planning, plotting, anticipation just adds to the excitement of the season.

[Mandy25]

The excitement, and thrill of getting a good deal and impending holiday season.

[Kalel]

During almost ten years i've been on every black friday. Be at line with my friends, wife and now my little child for hours and hours it's the best of every thanksgiving!

[Rose0426]

Finding the perfect gift for the best price (thanks to GD)

[karen6024]

[berry1014]

Love being able to score deals on gifts ... stretching that money to go a little further and getting the kids what they want for Christmas.

[sweetdiggity]

The rush of saving money, getting hot deals and being in the crowds at insane hours! lol

[kayray]

That rush I get when I get a great deal! Means more $$$ so I can buy more gifts!

[ClosedAcct]

I get the best sleep of my life after it's all over!!! Talk about SHEER EXHAUSTION!!!

[turtlemom2]

The excitement, and thrill of getting a great deal and upcoming holiday season!!

[Bingy828]

My favorite part is spending the day with my two best friends without husbands or kids interuppting us...and the shopping of course.

[mcwalker]

I like the good, and sometimes great, deals I get on Black Friday. And as long as things remain civil (which for the most part they do), I like the "adventure" of working through the lines and stores to get the deals. (No, really.)

[jonesy]

I go with a good friend every year I a love the fun we have!

[tigger410p]

I love seeing what is the best deal I can get!!

[neboo]

When all the ads drop!

[tigger192]

I love to people watch. People get out of control crazy!

[Needs a deal]

having displays of blu rays fall on top of you at walmart.

[mmsantoyo]

My favorite thing about Black Friday is the shopping and trying to get the door buster items. I also like talking and swapping stories with the people standing in line next to me.

[momlori]

I love the challenge of trying to get exactly what I am looking for at a good price. Also, people watching that day is second to none

[nramm]

looking through all the flyers , making my list, waking up early, and shop shop shop!!! Love all the fantastic deals!

[mamapenguin]

I love everything about Black Friday. I love the planning, and the shopping and the thrill of actually getting what I was after. Plus once out of every 9 years or so BF is on my daughter's birthday (next one is 2013).

[pocolachristian]

I love the cold weather, the low prices, and the madness!
