black friday:: my first + my last

sounds sad? not really ...

we've been living in the u.s. now for 6 years + never made it to experience the black friday ... why in the hell do they actually call it black friday ... probably because all the retail stores and credit card companies make a lot of profit!?
now that we know we are going to live in europe in a few weeks, we HAD TO go out to see, what all the fuzz is about... and yes, it's crazy... as if someone unexpectedly announced tomorrow would be christmas ... i didn't even know so many people actually fit in that tiny mall ... and can carry that many bags ... in fact we went to only one store carrying clothes that are cult in europe ... everyone got one treat or two or ... i got one of those sweat pants with the big label + t-shirts, little girl got two dresses (to turn while dancing), the boys ended up with a bunch of t-shirts, and the best is - we got x-mas presents for 4 other family members ... sounds like a really big price ticket, well since we earn in euro soon it was actually a bargain shopping spree + that stuff is worth twice what we spend over there and our beloved will be very (i mean VERY) happy about their presents from santa this year... well and i'm happy too, but i have to say:: i prefer every other day for shopping over black friday ...
