What is Black Friday?
Black Friday is a colloquial term used in reference to a shopping day following Thanksgiving, which marks the beginning of Christmas shopping season. The holiday takes place on the fourth Thursday of November and typically involves heavy discounting from stores as they try to compete for customers over their last weekend before Christmas. It was first observed in America but has since spread worldwide. In fact, it’s become such an important part of retail culture that it’s now celebrated in other countries around the world, including Canada and Australia.
