Black Friday

Getting to the stores at 4:00 am to get holiday gifts makes no sense to me. Sure, I get up early (check the times on my blog postings), and yes, I am frugal, but, my time is worth something. And so is my safety.

How did the Friday after Thanksgiving get this name? (Retailers being "in the black" after all that shopping?)

I did my shopping online. I found a great science lab for kids through Amazon.
