I'm baffled at why anyone would feel empty and disappointed after getting all wound up for a consumerist frenzy. Shouldn't buying things leave you with a warm inner glow and a lasting sense of fulfillment?

I was looking for a digital camera. There were a few deals, but all of the decent camera ones were sold out, noticeably at J&R.
All I ordered for Cyber Monday was a new bathing suit to swim laps at 15% off!

Weren't some of the black friday morning and overnite lines also to get one of ten of something that was conveniently in short supply ?
A cabbage patch doll was the ONLY thing I've ever gotten up early and waited in line for .
Seemed worth it at the time and shortly after the Christmas morning smile. Down the road, I'm not so sure I would do it again.
