Quick, what's the worst thing that can possibly happen while singing in front of a large group of people? Forgetting the words? You get booed? How about a visit from the hiccup fairy?

The holiday shopping season kicks off with the unofficial holiday known as "Black Friday." It's a day for giant sales, stressed-out shoppers and the chance to buy things you can buy any other day of the year.
