Black Friday 2025 Countdown & Anticipation Thread

[Brad]

Only 331 days to go

 

The threads for this year have been archived so if anyone wants to start a new "never-ending BF story" thread (or any other thread), feel free to post it in this forum.

My Walmart pre BF plasma TV from at least 10 years ago died unceremoniously on Friday. The thought of having to take it down/ trash it fills me with dread. I DON'T need a TV ASAP

I thought I had somehow missed the 100 day countdown post. There wasn't one, so I checked last year and there wasn't one then either. Thinking I've lost my mind, I went searching and I had to go all the way back to 2021 to find a 100 days! post from Brad . I guess I'm just living in the past. I've decided that's okay though, because I like it here. 

 

**I realize the 100 day mark doesn't mean much when BF doesn't happen on BF anymore. BUT, that said...

 

                                         95 days till Black Friday y'all!!

I mean it still happens but sadly it isn’t what it used to be.

I retired in May.  As a consequence, I am free to do whatever I want without regard to compelling commitments.  Again, as a consequence, I am free to get up late or very early.  For the first time in nearly a decade, I anticipate standing in line for some store opening BF.  Not so much for the Door Busters as for the nostalgia.  Brad, send me a t-shirt and I will post a picture or me in this shirt in line on BF in New Hampshire -- with no consideration for weather or temperature.  I am having SO much fun being a teenager again.

Ahhh retirement, something I look forward to but not sure I will ever get to do. We go out still for the nostalgia also. I always have the week off.

I'm hoping for something that brings back the spirit of BF...

Me too! BF hasn't felt like BF in a long time.

My son and I have been stocking up on Lego Winter Village sets all year long and we will begin assembling them 1st of October. Not many big "must have" items anymore so we are anticipating the season more than just a day.
