I know I am a bit early posting this based on my time zone, but I have no time to waste! Just finished Thanksgiving dinner, need to nap for a few and then head to the stores....gotta get in line! Most are opening at 3 a.m. some at 4 and the rest at 5! Target, Best Buy, Kohls, Sears, Toys-R-Us....so many to get to....biggest shop, er what am I saying!?!?! I am NOT going out in that mess!
I have to work......I consider myself lucky. On the news this evening there were four guys who have been camped outside of Best Buy since Monday.....!
H(black)FF! To you all, and especially for those of you brave enough to get into the crowds!
This was taken downtown Seattle in a little area known as Pioneer Square. Really cool spot full of interesting things.....and lots of city chickens if you have seen my stream....ok, gotta go!!
P.S. for those that do not know..(from Wikipedia)Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day many U.S. retailers open very early, often at 5 a.m., and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season. Because Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, the day after occurs between the 23rd and the 29th of November.
The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term began by 1966 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that "Black Friday" indicates the period during which retailers are turning a profit, or "in the black."
