Elmo....just no. Thanksgiving is not Christmas. Christmas is a Christian holiday while Thanksgiving is a national holiday. Thanksgiving celebrates the Pilgrims arriving in North America and their first feast with the Native Americans. We don't receive gifts on Thanksgiving because it's a time of being thankful for what we have and what we have achieved.

Please don't be ignorant like that again, at least I Google things I don't know before talking about them as if I know them.

Only on Black Friday do thousands of people wait in lines to get into national "Big Box" stores. After Christmas is much more toned down and is much less panicky. The deals are also a little better on Black Friday, but are generally not worth being run over by a madman with a loaded shopping cart.

Black Friday 2011 - Hundred of people line of at Best Buy at 8:30PM, wrapping around the building (Click to View)

And this was as Toys R Us in Middletown NY at 9:00PM. Most of the people are white trash here, so they would do anything for a good deal.

Cyber Monday was just popularized last year, but I didn't see as many good deals on online retailers. Of course Apple had products on sale (which was shocking) but other than that I didn't see as many deals as Black Friday.

Last year 2/3 of the population took part in Black Friday. It's huge.

Next time, just *Removed* google it. Even Wikipedia was correct.
