Happy Black Friday Everyone!!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Platinum

Black Friday, the shopping poem

The people crowd the entrances
at Malls all over town.
To seize the choicest bargain deals,
They’d gladly knock you down.
The retailers all hold their breath
as shopping gets in gear.
Will Santa fill his sleigh as hoped?
-or lay off more Reindeer?
There are plastic toys from China
colored with suspicious paint.
Whip out your last credit card
(-when you see the bills, you’ll faint.)
“The children must have Christmas! ”
No request will be denied.
Never mind your youngest child
has just turned thirty five.
Down forget a gift for you
Don’t you deserve the best?
Shopping is such good therapy
for the financially depressed

Kristin - funny poem but unfortunately probably true in many instances. I don't do Black Friday! I can't imagine waiting there all night.

My sister and a friend went to the movies yesterday afternoon * the crowds, parking, etc * do not interest me as an EVENT....I'd rather read the new Vince Flynn book - that's EXCITING!

Good morning sunshine-Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful and all your babies enjoyed it too. My Shadow did. Black Friday is NOT for this gal. I was happily sleeping at midnite and 4 am.

Kristin, I had to laugh--a POEM about Black Friday---??!!!  And now I see Santa doing car commercials...what'll they think of next? (And, why do they call it Black Friday? Because stores are in the black as opposed to in the red after the shopping frenzy?? Just wonderin'.)

Hi Kristin, Cute poem.  I did shop today but very strategically for things I really needed (like wine from Trader Joes)!

Ha ha, I was in Ann Arbor with my sister and she wanted to go shopping on Friday....and so I did. It was fun, we actually ran into our niece and nephew and several friends from high school. Crazy, but fun!
