Black Friday

I’m home all alone again while watching movies on HD this Saturday night. My husband is playing music out of town tonight and I don’t have the guts to go with him in this very cold night (for him it is not cold yet). So yesterday was the day after Thanksgiving which they called it here a Black Friday. I heard that “Black Friday” online specifically on facebook. Someone mention that she is ready to go shopping on a Black Friday. Well, wondering what it is, I asked my husband about it and he said it is the Friday after Thanksgiving day and it day that stores will have big discounts. So will check what wikipedia will tell us about this Black Friday:
Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Especially popular in the United States, the event is spreading to other nations such as Canada and Australia. On this day, many retailers open very early, often at 4 a.m., or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season. Black Friday is not actually a holiday, but many employers give their employees the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers. It has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005, although news reports, which at that time were inaccurate, have described it as the busiest shopping day of the year for a much longer period of time.
