Waiting For Black Friday

I'm actually glad I managed to finally decide what to give my dad for Father's day. Good thing they don't have Aunty's day, Uncle's day, Nephew's day, Dog's day, Fish's Day and all that or I'd go stark raving loony just trying to figure out gifts for everyone. Gift buying usually take a huge chunk of my finances, especially during Christmas. It's the only time of the year that I don't mind getting a headache figuring out what to buy for my family, loved ones and friends. After all, it's only once a year and everyone is in the spirit of giving.

Now, for those of you who are smart enough you'd start looking out for sales and discounts way before Christmas but sometimes it's a little too late when we find out about them only to find the things we want are no longer available. It can be a bummer, right? Don't even mention the jams you have to go through and getting your patience tested to the max just looking for a parking space. You also need to have super strong legs walking from shop to shop looking for that perfect gift.

Now, have you ever heard of cyber monday? It refers to the Monday immediately following Black Friday. A Black Friday? What is that you say. Well, a Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the US, when major retailers around the country discount products to help kick off the Christmas shopping season but oftentimes it's kept a secret until you actually receive the circulars in your Thanksgiving day newspaper.

But, by registering with Black-Friday.net, they actually give you the upper hand by showing you all the Black Friday ads, and you can purchase all the items online before anyone else. Without having to stand in line even :D Are you following me so far? No? Yes? Gosh, you're way smarter than me, I'm lost already... hehehe... Well, at least this year I think I know how to beat the holiday gift buying rush... all in the comforts of home :)
