Midnight madness ensues

Opinion by: Olivia Eissler

Some of you may think that Black Friday is the worst night to shop, but I think it is the greatest. After you have stuffed your face with as much food as you possibly can, it is always good to get a little exercise.
As your standing outside in the bellow freezing weather with hundreds of people, you think to yourself, wow why the heck am I doing this, but when the clock strikes midnight, your adrenaline rush kicks in and the excitement pumps you up.
When you hit the entering door of the store, the rush of warm air hits your freezing body and it feels like heaven, but then you’re off. Speed walking from aisle to aisle, you look for exactly what you want. When you finally spot it, it is like running in the 100-meter dash. Snatching it up, a satisfied smile comes onto your face.
This is exactly how I see Black Friday. It is the night where all the great deals come out, but so does your money. Some deals are worth the wait and money, but others are just rip offs. The one thing I don’t like about Black Friday is that it is on Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is suppose to be about spending time with your family from out of town and getting to play games and watch movies, but it is hard to do when you are standing in line to get into a store at 6 at night to go shopping. I wish that Black Friday was either the week before or after Thanksgiving. Then it would be perfect.
Black Friday for me is a tradition where I get to stay up all night and get to go shopping with my whole family. It is fun to see what kinds of gifts each of us wants for Christmas. I love spending time with my family on the day that I am thankful for each and everyone one of them.
