Thanksgiving is quickly is approaching and I can already smell all of the delicious food. Though the dreaded day after where you have to suit up in your battle armor to charge into the giant crowds is something I'd prefer not to do. Black Friday is one of those days during the year where you either do it every year like a tradition or you don't do it. I'm one of those people who wouldn't do it because I like to be safe and I don't feel like risking it for some okay sales that I'd have to fight for.
1. People are crazy.

Some people are just crazy when it comes to Black Friday shopping. Enough said.
2. It gets way too crowded.

There are too many people in one space that I'd rather not be in their with all of them.
3. It takes away from family time.

The workers who have to go in really early to work during the black Friday sales miss out on the time they could have with their families. Those who choose not to go black Friday shopping can spend more time with their family after the holiday especially if they don't get to see them often.
4. Why go out when I can just order online?

Advertisements seen from e-mails have a lot of the deals that are the same, if not better, for online stores. I could get great deals just waiting for cyber Monday than potentially getting stepped on trying to get one product from in a store.
5. I like sleep way more than early sales.

I prefer sleeping than having to get up very early just to wait in a line for hours on end.
6. It destroys the holiday spirit.

Some people are more set on the chance to shop and don't realize that there is more to the holidays than that. The ability to be able to see family instead is an option that I'd take in a heartbeat.
