Online or High Street?
Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States (which is the fourth Thursday of November), often regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.
In recent years, “Black Friday” has become a permanent fixture on the calendar in the run up to Christmas in the UK as well. This year, Black Friday is on November 28th 2014, and already retailers are advertising their forthcoming pre-Christmas deals both online and in the high street.
Do you like to touch before you buy? Are you concerned about the death of the high street? Do you prefer the ease of home delivery?
Where do you do the majority of your Christmas shopping?

I do think it's very important to support local businesses but lugging heavy/ bulky purchases home after queueing for ages is too stressful!
The smaller overheads involved in running an online business without an expensive shop front means you can make some real savings.
