Our tradition is to attend the annual Icefishing House Parade in neighboring community about 10 miles from here. It's a blast!
What are you doing on Black Friday?

@Cabin Fever Looks like fun for those who enjoy being out in the cold and in crowds....
I'm anti-social, avoiding crowds, traffic, and parking lots, especially on BF. I do like parades though.

We don't like crowds either, that's why we don't shop on Black Fridays. I never felt crowded at this parade, YMMV.
Black Fridays are for shopping. But from your computer and certainly not in a physical store IMHO. You could not pay me enough to go into a mass market store, no matter what low advertised price was in some ad. Maybe a small family owned one of a kind place, but not Best Buy, Walmart, etc.
I do very little shopping, but will take advantage of Black Friday sales if they are for something that I've been wanting. You usually don't have to wait until Black Friday to get bargains (relatively speaking). Usually you can find all the sales and get whatever you want bought and delivered before Black Friday even hits.
This year, I think I'm going to try to snag a Blackstone grill somewhere. We'll see if any of those go on sale. I've convinced myself that I desperately need one - despite having not even heard of one a year ago. Sigh...

I will stay home as usual.
I go drive out only to go grocery - to see the veterinian

Probably staying home. Not shopping.
I hope we are staying home. We don't have any plans to shop. My wife is more of a day-after-Christmas shopper, where she can take advantage of all the sales. I will do my usual mechanical work, and put a rear end in a recliner.
WORKING!!
We are planning to go camping starting Wed. Before turkey day. Staying for a week
No sad emojis..... I'd rather make money than spend it on stuff I don't need and deal with crowds!! If there is anything REALLY awesome, Hubby will go get it!

It's just another day for us.
Digesting Thanksgiving Dinner , and another nap. 
ONCE... As I recall when my kids were in middle school I took them early morning to a big box store.. Can't remember which one.. Just so they could see the mayhem of ..Black Friday.. They never wanted to do that again.. At least while they were under my roof.. At this point in life there isn't a thing I need to go to that again..
Hiding from people most likely.
