Lots of people here take, or have, the day after Thanksgiving off. Stores (supposedly) have a lot of super deals that day. The surge in buying is said to help a lot of merchants stay or get into the black for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Some years ago many retail businesses were operating in the red until the day after Thanksgiving when Christmas shopping started. Thus that day came to be called Black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It USED to be the day after Thanksgiving when the sales started. Now I think it starts on or around Nov. 1st. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
