The holiday shopping season is here and there is no bigger shopping day than the day after Thanksgiving.

Peace and Calm In the Black Friday Madness

After cooking for three days, hosting, and cleaning up from the Thanksgiving feasts and gatherings, somehow the madness of Black Friday shopping is a welcome reprieve and retreat for many holiday shoppers. These are the people that find peace and calm in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the holiday shopping frenzy. According to TopCashBack.com, 78% of Americans plan to shop on Black Friday.

Black Friday is a special day because all of the retailers are trying to get a jump on the competition. There is a lot of competition for your Christmas shopping budget - and every store wants to lure you in and get their share of your Christmas cash. There are doorbuster bargains, hourly sales and savings, and "once-in-a-lifetime opportunities" you dare not miss out on.
