I have a bad feeling that Christmas is going to be a nightmare this year. That game of chicken the writer speaks of combined with economic woes could lead people to wait or have to wait until the last minute in hopes that shops cut prices for Christmas Eve as if it were an After Christmas sale, with savings of 70-90%. Wonder who will win.

hey if its cheap youl whant more then just one

It is a sad state of affairs when the retail sector is seen as an economy saver. How about having the same enthusiasm saving our dwindling maunufaturing sector. Retail will not save this economy no matter how you spell Black Friday. If you want to help this great country of ours buy american made products

I would have to agree with you Kevin when the economy relies more on domestic goods and services it boosts our own economy but it usually takes prices of foriegn goods to go up first in order for that to happen...when people start buying domestically imports decrease and exports have the oppurtunuity to increase here and overseas.

While we set here in this country, laid off and broke. The foriegner enjoy the fruit of a rich country. Emptying our money by the boat loads into other nations while our people are sold out by their money hunger, greedy companies. Unwilling to pay the american worker the price set according tor our economy, they manufacture cheap and sell high. Greedy for the wealth they refuse ethics and morals.

Wake up america, how long will you set back and allow our companies to claim loss. Set terrifs on the foriegn countries and let United States companies pay for going overseas to manufacture cheap. This will turn them back home where their loyalty should have remained. They simply jumped on the band wagon, with the rest of the world reaping from the United States and its riches.
The wealthy bankers reap from all corners of the globe while they could care less about our prosperity. This nation has forgotten God and what it was once founded upon is no longer existent in the minds of its people. Out sore is from the eternal God!

It's time to go back in history to the Great Depression. Start making homemade toys and dishes for gifts. Start making homemade cards and knitted/crocheted sweaters and scarves. It's time when a visit with family and friends are good enough to be called 'presents'.

No matter your religion, it is time to remember the true reason for the season. And, I am not talking about God. I am talking about friends and families. They are the reason and the most important people in our lives.

Well, black friday or not. This Christmas will be a joyous one. I will give from my heart, not from my pocket book. Yes, I will buy some gifts, but I'll do my best to give out of love and not out of a compulsion to do so because it is Christmas. Lucy S is right. People appreciate something they know you actually made yourself much more than something you got at a black friday sale, and the only reason you got it was because it was on sale.
