About the last place in the world I'd like to be is at a crowded shopping mall or store, surrounded by idiots.

And I sure would never get up early for it. :lol

Norway was not liberated by english traders.


But then we would have lutefisk for thanksgiving instead of turkey  :D

We have noone but ourself to blame and its nothing to celebrate. :D

Seriously... I think thanksgiving is an irish custom (correct me if im wrong) that came over to your end on a boat. The Irish never came our way as there was no need. We visited them and their nuns on a regular basis for cultural exchanges. :D

Best time to shop during the holiday season is after Black Friday Durng the work weeks during the day between 9AM and 4 PM  while everyone else is at work.

I intentionally never go shopping on black Fri

I don't think our Thanksgiving is a carry over from Ireland. I could be wrong though.

I NEVER shop the day after Thanksgiving. My wife used to be the head customer service manager at the busiest WalMart in the world. She wasn't fit to be shot when she got home the night after Thanksgiving. She has a government job now, and we can actually enjoy Thanksgiving because we can go see family and not have to be home in time for her to be at work at 2AM the day after.

I generally shop close to Christmas, unless I'm going to try to get something hard to find for someone. We always go out on Christmas Eve to shop, because back when we were really broke we couldn't afford to do Christmas shopping until I got my generous (seriously, it was a generous bonus) Christmas bonus at the shop party on Christmas Eve. It became a tradition we share together.

a bottle of brisk at a esso, and a chocolate bar at a UFA.

other than that, not a damn thing - thanksgiving is a month earlier and doesnt involve any shopping up here.

Didn't buy anything on Friday and probably won't this weekend either. For us Christmas presents are an optional thing. We buy for each other all year long so we don't wait until Christmas. The Grandkids get their presents when we show up.

thanksgiving was started by the american indians to thank the pilgrims for bringing them steel knives and axes and arrow heads. Much better than stone tools.
