I resist going to made-up shopping holidays like Black Friday, Prime Day, Cyber Monday, and so on. Participating would just make me feel manipulated.
But then, I've never been "one of the crowd" - a weirdo according to some.
I gigged on "Black Friday" at an RV Resort where about 300 French Canadians and 300 US travelers park there rigs. It was a great party, we did over 3 hours without a break because it was just too much fun to stop. The smiles and energy from the audience kept us stoked.
BTW 30 years before Corporate America changed Black Friday into a shopping day, the term was used by the Philadelphia police department as a negative term. It described the parking problems, traffic jams, shoplifting, and other theft nightmare for the police department that occured the day after Thanksgiving.
