Holy batman under the mistletoe! We are SO EXCITED! And here is the essay for anyone who cares to read it.


To some Valentines Day is the holiday for love- but for me and my husband Black Friday is what brings out the sweethearts in us! Our first date was spent waiting in line outside Best Buy during Black Friday 2003. Six years later we're still acting like the love-struck college students by making Black Friday at Best Buy an annual tradition and date.
We wake up extremely early every Black Friday energized with thoughts of half-off sugar plums dancing in our heads. To make the day special we start off with my homemade pumpkin waffles and hot cocoa, the breakfast of deal-chasing champions. We revisit that first Black Friday date by wearing the same winter coats and matching scarves we did six years ago, now faded with time, but still protecting us from the cold. Cuddled together, we patiently wait outside in the blistering cold for stores to open. We always ask another Black Friday fan to capture the moment with our camera adding to the yearly pictures we have collected from Black Friday that decorated our mantel throughout the year.
While some women may prefer their husbands in tight tank tops running on a beach, nothing says “hubba hubba” like my husband in his clunky snow boots weaving his way through a crowd, trying to reach for that must-have gadget of the season. Black Friday is the day we celebrate our tradition, our love, and hopefully finally grabbing the last Nintendo Wii off the shelf!
