"Black Friday"



Not that it is officially over, what is Black Friday to you? Is it a day to get the hottest deals, spend way too much money, full of scams? What's your take? Where did you find the hottest deals in fashion this year?

Unfortunately I did not go shopping on Black friday for the first time in a long time. I'm used to waking up at the crack of dawn, more like 4 or 5 am to eventually get the hottest deals.

Well....

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, where it is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but if your lucky enough many employers give the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers. Many retailers open very early (typically 5 am or even earlier) and offer doorbuster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. So you tell me, which stores had the best doorbusting deals? Also, just out of curiosity does anybody know how the name "Black Friday" came about?

Yeah, it refers to the moment when retailers can say they will be in the "black" as in making a profit for the year.
