Black friday...how did you fare?

Ok with the tides of black friday and small business saturday sales ebbing, but with the on slaught of Cyber Monday sales yet to come i find myself asking two questions.

1. How did you survive? Did you go out into the madness or did you stay home and await for the small business saturday and cyber monday sales?

2. If you went out how did you fare? Did you make a killing in the shopping fields? Or where you one of the poor people who got lost in the tides of people and missed most of the sales?

Personally i stayed home with the husband and kidlets and worked out the sales for both Saturday and Monday as well started working on a few new pieces. But curiousity got the best of this kitten and her family Friday so we all piled into the car and went for a drive.
And oh my goth let me just say one thing, shopping in the real world looks both scary and dangerous! Every store in out hometown was filled past compacity and still more we filing in. It all kind of reminded of me sardines in a can which in turn made me wonder if the stores smelled as bad as the little fishies inside their perverbial can?
Now dont get me wrong i have nothing against shopping or the people who wish to indulge in actual human interaction but when is enough enough? How much can on person or family be expected to deal with before other's actions and attitudes are no longer acceptable? Every year i hear, see, and read were people's attitudes are getting worse and worse. Why? Does it really help the shopping experience if you make someone cry, ruin their experience, or take something they really want that you dont really need just because you want to be a putz?
Its offically the start of the holiday shopping season which means that it the start of the holiday season. A time where we should treat each other with love and respect not anger and malcontent?

So with that rant being said think back to your black friday travels, if any, and ask yourself how well did you fare? Including your attitude towards others.

Remember this holiday season and every day:
