I have done Black Friday before and it is just insane with all the crowds. And i can't believe that people get trampled by others trying to get a deal. There's nothing i need that badly. This is supposed to be the season of peace on earth and good will towards men.

SQinfoNUTS, I once had someone tell me in the workplace not to dare wish people Merry Christmas because it might be offensive. I view Merry Christmas as just an expression of well wishes. Doesn't mean the person I am saying it too has to celebrate it or believe in Christ. I would not be offended if someone wished me Happy Hannukah.

Commercialism of Christmas is part of what unnecessarily stresses people out during the holidays. Christmas isn't about having stuff or materialism.

known as Black Friday because it starts the last month for stores to finish the year financially "in the black"

Gary, Christmas is a federal holiday in the USA. People are free to celebrate Christmas even if they don't believe in Christ.

SMARTRTHANU, life is too short to stress your self out. Christmas is a gift for those who give love. God gives us what we need. I don't do black Friday because it doesn't allow for family time

HandyMint, I quite agree, it is a time for being with family and giving your time. People should stop and re - focus on what Christmas really is. I think it’s become far too commercialised and the amount of discounted shopping sprees, crowds and adverts has become obscene. As a family we make decorations and small gifts together and love the time we spend together.

Jonesy, Canadians celebrates Thanksgiving Day in October instead of November (U.S.). In '98 we packed up our turkey and all the fixings in our cooler and drove from Michigan to Sudbury Canada and celebrated our Thanksgiving with our Canadian friends over the weekend...Beautiful country!

HandyMint, Christmas has absolutely nothing to do with Christ. Christmas is full of pagan influence, and Jesus himself only ever asked us to remember his death, not his birth. Jesus was not born on Dec 25th. Google it or visit JW.org for answers to many questions related to holiday celebrations and how they are steeped in pagan origin.

we Romanians celebrated Black Friday very different, we had to keep food away and water for few weeks/days, as a respect to homeless people who are freezing in cold and starving to death

it's called black Friday because all the sales get the stores who were in the red (debt) have a chance of getting in the black (profits).

When I was a high school student in the 1960s, I wrote a piece for my church bulletin. It was titled, "Who Took the Christ Out of Christmas?" First time my writing was published.

stashio2020, I agree with you. I went out shopping one time on black Friday. that was enough for me. I saw grown women fighting over items on a table. toys and empty toy boxes all over the floor. etc
