Black Friday is slowly approaching and shoppers are getting their credit cards ready for the holiday season. Black Friday is considered the official start of the holiday shopping season. I myself have not fully attended the huge event. I remember my mom and I would go to the stores in the early afternoon to grab the leftover deals on whatever they happened to have left because my mother despised the stress of the early morning rush. "Black" refers from stores transitioning from "red" to "black" because when accounting records were kept by hand the red ink indicated loss, and black a profit. The Friday after thanksgiving also know as the famous "Black Friday" has been known as the start of holiday shopping since the start of the modern Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924. It became so popular because when the retailers realized they could draw crowds with sales they advertised it to the maximum. They added more and more sales and that brings us to where we are today. So when Black Friday rolls around be careful and please don't get trampled.
