I don’t do MondaysBlack Fridays.
I know this is kind of heretical, as someone trying to make money in this economy, but I hate Black Friday. Black Friday is the epitome of Commercialmas … the corruption of a simple religious celebration into a giant marketing juggernaut. It’s already overtaken Thanksgiving and I don’t think it’ll be long before it passes Halloween … eventually we’ll be hounded with the obligation to buy crap for people year-round.
If I can manage it, I follow Buy Nothing Day and … buy nothing. I was on vacation (I saw the ocean!), so I think I bought lunch and dinner. That’s it.
For similar reasons, I didn’t make a big promotion about my shops, either.
Germs? For me? You shouldn’t have.
The thing I got for Black Friday was a nasty cold. Otherwise I’d have cranked out the humor theory post I’ve been intending to write for weeks now.
Also, I know lots of folks do like deals and do buy gifts for the holidays for their special people (or themselves), and my inbox is full of promotional deals from my Print On Demand purveyors, so …. instead of ‘I’m sick, no post’, here’s the current deals for you all…
