which always struck me as pretty weird. who goes shopping on the day after a major holiday. i wouldn't go out shopping for clothes on the 26th of december or the 2nd of january, i'd spend those with my family. that is, unless i'm misunderstanding and black friday isn't the day right after thanksgiving.
