We are one week away from Black Friday 2011. The day when everyone wakes up at 4 am to get to the stores that are offering the best deals on the most coveted Christmas gifts. This year stores are opening even earlier to get a jump on the shopper’s money.

I have done the Black Friday thing. Woke my tiny children from a dead sleep and took them into crowded stores in their pajamas just to save those few precious dollars. As the kids got older, I would leave them home and go out shopping with friends. We would love to get to the stores that were giving away free Christmas decorations to the first 50 or 100 people. To this day looking at my little JCPenney Mickey Mouse snow globe still brings back wonderful memories of early mornings and going in and back out and then back in again to get extra snow globes.

This year I am going to skip the Black Friday store shopping event. That’s right! I am going to stay home and enjoy the quiet of the empty streets of town. While everyone else is out fighting for the latest have to have gadget, I will be cozied up by the fire with my laptop trying to win an iPad 2.

You can win one as well! ZAGG is giving away and iPad 2 every hour starting at midnight (MST) on Black Friday, November 25, 2011.
