Singing the ‘Black Friday Blues’ and the News

                                              Good Day World!

Are you feeling blue, even guilty or left out?  You did not participate in the Black Friday madness.

"It's probably not worth waking up very early for," said Matthew Ong, an analyst at NerdWallet.
