Carla, I have never gone. This year I will, though. My daughter ( 12 ) wants to go with her friend and the friend's older sister ( 23 ). They are going to get in line at 10:45 for a midnight opening. My daughter only has $50 to spend and most of the deals are on electronics. But it is a novelty for her. I am bringing chairs, blankets and thermoses of hot cocoa. Than I am retreating to the car with everything while the shop. I may go in after the mad dash so that I can take the younger girls while the older sister shops.
It has been all over the news here that it is turning into a month long Black Friday. And a women at Macy's told me that after this weekend and beginning around the 2nd week of Dec. prices are going to drop further. They are already preparing signs for it.
Maybe it is one of those "American" experiences that everyone should have once. : )
