This annual shopping event occurs after Thanksgiving, which is one of the major holidays in North America and has been recognized as a big retail event all over the world.
Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the United States and Canada, which is synonymous with the feast and the gratitude spirit. Americans celebrate on the fourth Thursday of November and Canadians on the second Monday of October. The day is usually a family gathering where everyone shares a meal consisting of turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and pumpkin pie along with the New England harvest traditions.
The roots of the festival can be traced back to 1621 when the settlers and the natives celebrated the first harvest in colonial New England together. Gradually Thanksgiving changed from a regional harvest festival to a family, gratitude, and togetherness holiday.
The dates for Thanksgiving and Black Friday vary every year, but they generally lie between 23rd and 29th of November. This year Thanksgiving is on November 27, and Black Friday is on November 28.
Black Friday has become one of the largest shopping days of the year. The term was first used in the 1960s in Philadelphia where police officers referred to the disorder and the number of people in the downtown streets after Thanksgiving as Black Friday. Initially with a negative connotation, the term has become associated with large retail sales and massive excitement.
