Every Black Friday I end up buying most of my Christmas gifts. Unfortunately I can't stop myself from buying discounted items for myself.
The first year that I participated in Black Friday, I got up early with my father to go to Circuit City (when it was still open). There was a huge line outside of it. I went to buy Christmas gifts for my friends/family and I ended up buying one gift for my brother and $100 worth of gifts for me. I bought a bunch of dvds and Guitar Hero for the PS2.
Definitely was not worth standing in the cold. A Christian group was giving out hot chocolate, but it still was not worth it. So from then on, I set an alarm and put my laptop next to my bed so that I could just buy items and go back to sleep.
Every Black Friday I tend to buy seasons of The Office. It is one of my favorite television shows, but it is also very expensive when it is not on sale. Often on Black Friday, it sells multiple places for $12.99. In fact, this year Season 6 is on sale at Target for $12.99.
Problem is, my family always wants me to make a Christmas list with items that I want before the holidays. I try to hold off as long as I can because I always end up buying things on the list.
This year, I'm looking at The Office (of course), 500 Days of Summer, 30 Rock Season 4, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Pushing Daisies Season 2, Party Down Season 2, How I Met Your Mother Season 5, The Proposal, Toy Story 3, Californication Seasons 1-3, Weeds Seasons 1-5, Chuck Seasons 1-3, annd Castle Seasons 1-2. I won't buy all of them cause I'd go bankrupt, but if I can get some good deals on some of those tv series/dvds, I will be happy. I am also looking to get a television that is bigger than mine so that I can have better movie nights (ones where my friends can see the tv).
