Turkey day is neigh! After an evening of food, football and the inevitable unbuttoned-pants-nap, you need to plan your Christmas loot strategy. Today’s Daily Distraction has the perfect website for that Black-Friday wish list.

There is no arguing that holidays are thinly veiled excuses to consume, and consume a lot. Thanksgiving is no different. Call me cynical but, to me, Thanksgiving ends and Christmas begins right after the nap. You should carb up before a big race and get plenty of sleep before a big test, right? There is no reason you shouldn’t prepare for one of the biggest shopping days of the season. That’s where blackfriday.info comes in.

This website is simple. It is a collection of all the Black-Friday ads that most major news papers will distribute a week before the most notorious of shopping days. Retailers across the nation are trimming prices in preparation for a large wave of cranky and confused consumers. Blackfriday.info is the aspirin for that holiday headache. It lists sale items, coupons, and a breakdown of loot by store. Geek candy shops like Best Buy,Circuit City, Radio Shack, and Sam’s Club all have their wares neatly organized and ready to go on this page.

So get grandma, pull up blackfriday.info and make sure she doesn’t mistake an iPod touch for a Zune.
