Black Friday at Midnight

Best Buy @ Midnight 
Black Friday Shopping...
...the long running tradition of many people

As the creeping of Black Friday move further and further upward on the clock, people are eating their family turkey dinner on the run.

Nerdy Hubby & I decided to view the spectacle in person.
11:45 pm - drove down to Best Buy to see the long long line of people waiting to get in on the "deals!"
11:50 pm - not a spot in sight at the parking lot...NH estimated at least 1,000 people in line
The Line went on and on and on...
The Happy Ones in the Front of the line...
11:55 pm - at least 3 dozens of store clerks are having a last minute meeting (saw through the glass door)
11:59 pm - door opens...people are cheering
Here They Go...
12:02 am - street party like atmosphere with shoppers and onlookers (like us)
On Lookers - No way were these people were going to get in.
12:05 am - decided to drive to Walmart to see what people are buying
12:12 am - drove around the Walmart parking lot 4 times around and finally found a parking spot
12:20 am - lines and lines of people with very very full carts - toys and tvs are the items of choice
The TVs, Not one, but two or even three...Why Not...It's on Sale!
12:30 am - The line went on and on, to the end of the store, then around the aisles, then wrapped around the corners...and continued
Couldn't find the end of the line...
 12:45 am - Saw a $5.00 Barbie and Thought about getting a jug of milk...Maybe Not!!!
The Sea of people...Every cashier was open and active.
12:55 am - Left to go home without any milk!
1:05 am - Nighty Night...
