On the day after Thanksgiving, also known as “Black Friday”, I like to start my morning off by waking up late, reading blogs over coffee, pulling out the Christmas decorations and trimming the Christmas tree.
I have never, ever been a Black Friday shopper, at least in the “wake up really, really early and go to the store at 4 AM and freeze and stand in line and fight someone over the last electronic _____” kind of shopper.
Thank goodness for the internet. Many of these same deals that the power shoppers will be out hunting down will also be online and are already going on. But yeah, I’ll wait until Friday to shop so it feels almost like a real Black Friday shopping experience. One of my favorite online shopping portals to do all of my shopping in one place is Amazon. And the Amazon Black Friday Deals page is already up and running and ready to give me the best bang for my buck.
Here are just a few things I have my eye on for gifts (and my own wishlist!)
Do you brave the crowds and go Black Friday shopping?

I agree… black Friday shopping is not something I would normally consider. My sweet daughter-in-law called me the week before and asked, “Do you go shopping on Black Friday?” My response of course was, “Not if I can help it!” In her sweetest voice she asked me to go with her. How could I say no? I agreed, provided we didn’t leave at any crazy hour and we didn’t go to Walmart! We had a lovely day going only to small shops and enjoying lunch out. My shopping always gets done ‘on-line!’ I can even access Amazon.com through my own website http://www.incrediblemiracles.com by just clicking on the shopping link. I love online shopping. You have a very nice website! Helena
