Black Friday is a shopper's biggest dream and a claustrophobic's worst nightmare. Doors open at major retailers as early as 5:00a.m. and the lines start during the wee hours of the morning, if not the night before. Hoards of people rush through the frosted glass-paned doors to escape the chill and grab some of the hottest Christmas items at the lowest prices available before the holiday season is upon them.
Black Friday has seemed to come early this year, though. Reports are beginning to accrue of a leak in the WalMart Corp. that released their deals to the public before they were originally scheduled to. The list covers most areas of desired holiday items from a 42-inch Plasma HDTV for $988 to the Barbie Fashion Fever dolls for $5 a piece, which is quite a markdown from the $20+ price some are fetching currently. To check out the official statements and article, click here.
In the spirit of the season, iTaggit would like to see your holiday items in a holiday wish list collection. Use iTaggit to help you organize a Barbie doll collection for your youngsters. Discuss which one's are at the top of the kids' wish lists this year with our other users who collect Barbie dolls. Lastly, be sure to share what bargains you got from which stores and show off the items that you have already checked off that mile-long shopping list. You never know who might be looking for new ideas and holiday inspiration from your things.

The Golden Age Of Boston Sports
Who would have guessed 2007 would be the year of the Bostonian? I find myself wondering how much autographed baseballs, footballs, basketballs, cards, and any other memorabilia from this era will be worth in the future. Lets do a quick recap:
The World Champion Red Sox had a nice blend of fresh rookies and seasoned veterans to create a winning concoction, closing out their season at 96-66. Not only did the Sox put up remarkable numbers in about every category imaginable, even their manager, Terry Francona, set a record by becoming the first manager to start 8-0 in World Series play. There is not enough room in this article to continue listing all of their stats from the 2007 season, so if you are curious, check out another one of my blogs, “The Joy of Sox”, for more information concerning the champs. Their first series of the 2008 season will be played on March 25th in the Tokyo Dome, Japan against the Oakland A's.
As the NFL's only remaining undefeated team, the 9-0 start produced by the Patriots is a current franchise record. They have won 12 consecutive regular-season games dating back to last season, earning them the second longest regular-season winning streak in team history. They are also at the top of the rankings in terms of offensive points per game and yards per game, but their defense is not one to be overlooked either, allowing only an average of 275 yards per game. Their next game will be this Sunday at home against the Buffalo Bills.
The NBA's only remaining undefeated squad have started with a very healthy 6-0 record and show no signs of slowing. This record matches their last 6-0 start twenty years ago, when the Celtics' star trio was Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish. Now they have Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen who have been running a muck around their opponents. The Celtics' overall best start was 14-0 in the 1957-58 season. Their next game will be away tonight against New Jersey.
