Black Friday Sales in Nashville, Tennessee

Black Friday is, historically, the biggest shopping day of the year. Most people fall in to one of two categories of shoppers when referring this monumental day in material exploitation:

1. One type of shopper avoids Black Friday like the plague, as if he/she believes the cutthroat, over-zealous hysteria over the newest version of Elmo will quite literally kill them.

2. The other type is as excited and anxious for this day as a young child is on Christmas Eve night, awaiting the chanced glimpse of Santa Claus.

I know nobody who falls in between these two extremes, who can either take it or leave it.

This year, there is good news for those who huddle in the safety of their homes, for those who would rather miss the sales than to tackle the crowds. Because of industry fears of how rising fuel costs will affect travel plans, holiday budgets, and alas, shopping trends, most stores are not showcasing the infamous Black Friday Sales. Most major retailers are offering sales that start on Sunday November 18 and end on Wednesday November 21, 2007-THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING!!!

Never fear, you who live for the rush of Black Friday hysterics, there are still a few of our favorite stores carrying on sales through your beloved holiday.

Below is a breakdown of a few of the hottest toys for all ages and where some of the best deals in town can be found. Before trekking through your favorite store, be sure you know whether the deal ends before Thanksgiving or continues through Black Friday.
