OK, ladies, start your engines. You have a big day ahead of you so you will need to roll out of bed at the crack of dawn if you want to get in line for all those early bird specials and doorbusters. Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) is well known as the biggest shopping day of the year. All the stores offer huge deals and giveaways to get you into their stores. Do your homework–you will need an idea of who you want to buy for and possible gift ideas.
