Did you sit outside a mall since 3 PM on Thursday as I heard some people in Los Angeles were, to get pole position for the Black Friday deals?

Was it worth loosing sleep over? Does shopping justify skipping Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends?

For meateaters there is Meatless Monday.

Shoppers of the world can hold off their horses for a day and stay home on Buy Nothing Day which appropriately is on November 26 in the US and November 27 in the UK and other parts of the civilized world.

When everyday is a sale day, where is the fun?

There's always Cyber Monday!
