Moss Ball Pets. Treat yo' self.

If you are a fan of the dry humored classic television show, Parks and Recreation (starring Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope and myriad of other stars such as Chris Pratt, Rashida Jones, and Aubrey Plaza), then you may be familiar with one of its most famous quotes: “Treat yo’ self.”

Black Friday which takes place the day after Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in November) has become a huge event in the American culture. Some businesses and consumers are so excited about the bargains that they actually begin participating in Black Friday on Thanksgiving!

While there are many people who really dislike this spectacular shopping occasion, there are many more who clamor to the stores to get an opportunity to get items at extremely discounted pricing.

Black Friday: A Truly Unusual American Tradition

There are certain people who will prepare for Black Friday for months in advance. They come up with elaborate plans and sometimes even create groups to optimize their Black Friday haul. That’s probably what’s happening when you see a person who is buying fifteen waffle makers.

The day after Thanksgiving has been widely known as “the beginning of the holiday season” officially since 1966 when it was credited to the Philadelphia Police Department.* It has only continued to grow with elaborate sales and dangerous traffic on the road and in the aisles of the stores.

Some other important things to keep in mind:

  • Stay hydrated Forego that energizing cup of caffeine and instead make sure that you’re less prone to pass out or get cranky when you’re out and about with the other shoppers.
  • Charge your cell phone You don’t want to be stuck in those long lines without your phone to keep you distracted (and to check for better deals on Cyber Monday).
  • Get plenty of sleep Make sure that you’re well-rested before you attempt to wrestle your way through crowded street lanes and store aisles.
  • Don’t get angry Try to avoid a surge of emotions by taking breaks while shopping, doing one nice thing for someone else (like letting them have the last $5 sweater), and not letting other people’s negativity wear you down.

Most importantly, don’t forget to treat yo’ self.
