Even though you aren't giving them money or buying them the gi, even if it's a $3 DVD and it's the last one, you can still give back to someone in a little way. Everyone is so appreciative of our actions." Whether it's holiday-themed footie pajamas or crazy leggings, every super hero needs a costume. In Brianna's case, each year called for a new theme. "On our most recent trip, we wore cus- tom 'Best Friend' t-shirts that had ar- rows pointing in opposite directions." "It was cold and misty waiting in the long line outside of Kmart and everyone had on grumpy faces. But it was the start of the holidays so eve- ryone should have been happy! We would stand next to random people in line and, with our arrows on our shirts pointing at them, we would ask them if they were our best friend." e community loved it. Brianna would chat up those waiting in front and behind her. During the wait, Bri- anna saw it as an opportunity to get to know the people and families in wait- ing alongside her. "I'm from a small- er town so there really was a sense of community while waiting in the lines. I would get to talk to my neigh- bors who live at the end of the street. I would never have an opportunity to talk to them besides waiting in line at 6:00 a.m. on Black Friday!" Waiting in line and getting to know the commu- nity played just as an important role as the giving spirit of the tradition. "People thought we were crazy! But we always had a good time." Being able to get to know people they were acquainted with and help out oth- ers was the premise of this tradition. "ere was always one family who we would see Black Friday shopping every year. Waiting outside of Best Buy, they would bring a fire pit and would sit around it in lawn chairs." Churches in nearby areas would bring donuts, hot chocolate and coffee for everyone. " Its the season of giving! You get to meet these people while you wait in line, I wanted to know every- one's life story in line at Black Friday – then give back to them in a little way."
