What makes that day be called Black Friday? I think the big depression began on Black Thursday. I know what Bloody Sunday is. What is Black Friday? Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving Day (4th Thursday of Nov in the USA) is the "unofficial" start of the Christmas Shopping season. The stores all have big earlybird specials and lots of sales (some stores open as early as 5am). According to tradition it's the day that the stores make enough sales to go from a deficit "in the red" to a profit "in the black" for the year. (the "red" and "black" come from the old days when financial ledgers were handwritten in ink and red ink was used for a deficit and black ink for a profit.) Janet |

I thought you were kidding the first time, like it's a "black" day. (Consumerism run rampant? The worst of what Christmas should be. People fighting to shop and buy first. It's an ugly day to me, anyway.) I'd never heard of this before (books going from red into the black). I get it now. Thanks for explaining. -- ***************************** Chuck Anderson • Boulder, CO http://www.CycleTourist.com Integrity is obvious. The lack of it is common. ***************************** |
