The Origin of Black Friday




The day after Thanksgiving in the United States, is frequently referred to as Black Friday.Where did it come from , Why do we call it that. Why does a bitch like me have to glue on her wig to prevent it from falling off because of crazed shoppers looking for low prices?

General Use: One of the major U.S. holiday shopping days. The day many U.S. consumers begin Christmas shopping. The day is heavily promoted by retailers.

Origin: The origin of Black Friday comes from the shift to profitability during the holiday season. Black Friday was when retailers went from being unprofitable, or "in the red," to being profitable, or "in the black", at a time when accounting records were kept by hand and red indicated loss and black profit.
