i wont go out on black friday BUT i will go out on thanksgiving! this year my son and step sons will be with their other parent so we are going out to dinner with family and then just me and my husband are going to shop for a few hours. between us we have 3 boys, aged 12,11,10 and a baby on the way so we dont have too much time to do our shopping. they usually have good sales on the type of stuff we need. we will likely be home before midnight or just after and sleep in on friday. i usually decorate the house and do some cooking. this year no kids from wednesday night until sunday afternoon! we are going to celebrate on sunday with the boys but we are looking forward to a few days to get ready for christmas and baby!!
