There are numerous minute reasons that Friday the 13^th is considered unlucky. The main longstanding beliefs is that 13 is an unlucky number and Friday is an unlucky day. Although in today's culture one would be hard pressed to find anyone that thinks Friday is an unlucky day anymore. Another popular reason is that on Friday the 13^th the Knights Templar were arrested and murdered by King Philip. This reasoning became popular when it was depicted in the movie The Da Vinci Code.

In reality the superstition of this day became popular in the 20^th century, contradicting any centuries long significance it may hold. What brought it onto the national scene was the horror movie franchise of the same name. Now nearly everyone views this day as unlucky, even though it is hard to pinpoint its origin and was made popular by Hollywood.

There is nothing to actually fear on this day, but it is still a little fun to think about. Why not have some fun with it? We designed a t-shirt just for this day. Are we contributing to the fabrication of this day? Probably, but don't tell us you don't like it.

• Wake up early. Duh! This is obvious right? It is, but many people underestimate the hour in which they must wake up. If you can't handle waking up at 2 or 3 am, you probably aren't cut out for the day.
• Race Mentality. This isn't a leisurely day of shopping, well at least it isn't if you want to find the very best deals. Be ready to race for a product and jockey for position. Remember, thousands of others have seen the same ads you have and are probably after the same products you are. Be prepared for some competition but . . .
• Be Nice. Remember, it is just shopping. Racing to a product doesn't give you the right to be rude or annoying. If someone beats you to a product, deal with it. Also, don't be in a surely mood. It's early enough, no one wants to deal with you and your bad mood.
• No Excuses. Never use "it's early" as an excuse. We all know its early! Everyone is up early! If you use the time as an excuse you are basically saying you can't hang with everyone else.
• Don't get discouraged. Maybe you didn't get the product you desired on Black Friday, don't get discouraged. If you strike out on Black Friday there is always Cyber Monday, an equally big shopping day for online retailers. You can probably find some great deals online that day and the entire weekend.
