The Midnight Madness shopping sprees on Black Friday are a unique spin on the Christmas Holiday shopping adventure. If you want more hours to take advantage of all of the sales on the day after Thanksgiving, starting in the wee hours of the morning will give you those hours. Many, possibly all, of the malls are located near hotels and motels. If you do not live near the mall of your choice, it might make the day more fun and relaxing if you get a hotel room in the vicinity. By renting a hotel room, the shopper can arrive at the location sometime after Thanksgiving dinner, and rest and enjoy the hotel facilities. When the midnight hour approaches, the shopper can hop into their car and drive a few minutes in the middle of the night instead of hours. Some of the hotels are having Midnight Madness specials, so it is worth it to call the mall office and find out if any area hotels are offering shopping specials for Midnight Madness.
