I'm ashamed to admit that I did not participate in this event. In fact, I spent a whole lot of money today.
However, I shop on this day as a test of my mental fortitude. I like to think of it as a kind of ancient eastern philosophy to subject myself to the crowds in order to make more peace with myself. If I can survive the crowds on a day like today, I can survive almost anything.
