Chris Williams, left, of Carbondale and his sister Katie Williams, of Marion, check their list of items to purchase at Best Buy during its Black Friday sale. The Williams said they began to wait in line around 8 p.m. the night before. A Best Buy employee said people had started a line by 9:30 a.m. Thanksgiving morning in hopes of finding the deals they were looking for. Despite the number of people who waited in lines across the country, Reuters reported Sunday that shoppers “spent significantly less than a year ago” over Black Friday weekend. Williams said he wore his yellow-and-orange wig not only to stay warm in line, but so his sister could easily find him in the crowd. “It was actually a good idea because I lost him once,” his sister said.
