This was my first time every getting out in the madness for Black Friday... It was crazy! People were running around like zombies, mass murderers, and estrange lunatics. I couldn't belive it. In a lot of cases, it looked like they were under some type of hypnosis. At any rate, hypnotized or not, sales were off the charts.The Wall Street Journal said, "Black Friday Sales Gains Strongest Since 2007 Black Friday sales rose 6.6% from a year ago, getting the holiday shopping season off to a strong start, retail data and consulting firm ShopperTrak said Saturday.
The gains were the strongest since 2007 and topped last year's anemic 0.3% increase, said ShopperTrak, which installs monitoring devices in stores to gauge foot traffic.
Many retailers extended the traditional start to the holiday shopping season by swinging open the doors Thanksgiving night rather than stick with their usual predawn Friday kickoffs. Retailers also made a stronger push this year for online sales."
