I think it is good to be aware of your spending and why you are spending it and I understand why someone would take a stand against black Friday. But on the other hand, for those of us who live on one income of less than 37K Black Friday is huge. We wouldn't be able to by all of our family Christmas presents if it weren't for the sales. I think that people need to realize that a lot of us out there on black Friday aren't the crazy consumerism people they think we are. To be quite honest it makes me angry that people would judge me for it. A bloggy friend wrote this post on why black Friday is important for her family's livelihood. A lot of people just don't consider how blocking this day could actually hurt the small business person: http://mutheringheights.blogspot.com/2008/11/buy-nothing-day-aka-black-friday-aka.html I think it is a little extreme to turn it into “buy nothing day”.

Or today, for that matter. I watched a friend's daughter while she went shopping...it was nice just to stay out of the madness. I bought nothing on Friday! Or today, for that matter.
