If You Can't Take The Heat

For Brian's birthday this year we decided we'd stay up all night and shop since his birthday landed right on Black Friday this year.  Brian has been Black Friday shopping alone the past few years.  He's so funny, he starts watching the Black Friday ads as soon as they're released on the internet.  He love's getting a good deal.  Me on the other had, I usually shop a week or two before Christmas online, have it delivered to my house, and pay a least full price for it. 

We decided that this year it would be fun to hit the stores together on this crazy night/morning of shopping goodness.  Walmart opened at midnight so we decided to hit there first.  Oh my, that really broke me into what all the crazies do on this day.  I've heard of people being trampled and I now believe it.  
If you look you will find Brian in the picture, these are people rushing the video games, including Brian.  I was standing on a bench laughing at the whole thing.  While standing there, this man comes out of that crowd you can see with his face scarlet red, screaming "Get off me! Don't touch me!"  Seriously this man was ready to hurt someone.  Honestly sir, if you can't take the heat of Black Friday, don't go shopping then!!
After Walmart, which was about 2:00am, we went home.  I fell asleep on the couch and Brian stayed awake.  Then we went back out at 4am to hit up Best Buy, Kmart, and Target.  We definitely got some good deals, and had a riot doing it.  We got home about 7am slept until 11am the headed out for our 3rd and final round of shopping. 
Later that night we went to the light parade then out to dinner for Brian's birthday.  We had such a fun day together.

HOLY COW!! I can't believe there is that many people that shop in the middle of the night! I think I will continue to stay home and sleep on Black Friday.
