Consider embracing the *Buy Nothing Day* movement- a symbolic one finger salute to the whole hyped consumer situation. Relax. Enjoy some time with friends & family, or just take a hike & breathe.
It seems like all the stores pretty much carry the same crap anyway. Maybe you don't need more stuff?
Or maybe you'd just like to contribute to others in need via the local food bank, or help friends who are unemployed. While the stores want you to line up early, perhaps you choose to think outside the box, the big box stores that is.....

It's not Black Friday at our house. It's going to be lie around and soak in the relaxation day.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Fran.
