Hello everyone,
I was just reading an article titled "Why is Black Friday called Black Friday?" on the online magizine "the balance".

I tought you might be interested about it because you could get some products cheaper on this day.
Basically what the text says is how black friday got its name. Black Friday is the name given to the shopping day after Thanksgiving. The reason for its name is because so many people went shopping and that caused traffic accidents. The first time it was recorded in 1966 by Earl Apfelbaum, a dealer in rare stamps.
It is also said that the companys wanted to make "Black Friday" to something positive. The Friday after Thanksgiving is a very profitable day to retailing and to the economy. The retailers used the name to reflect their success.
What shocked me most was that Black Friday isn't as positive as it is mentioned in the social medias. There were many Black Friday violences in the last few years. People also got injured because of pushing and shoving other people by trying to get the products with the most percent off.
Now I want to tell you some information about Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is a national day which is mostly celebrated in the american country such as The United States or Canada. The people thanks god for the blessing of the harvest and of the precending year. This day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. The most important thing on Thanksgiving is spending time with the family. Traditional food of this day are the turkey or different pie for dessert.
