What day is your Thanksgiving in the U.S.? Is it before or after Black Friday? They are attempting to do Black Friday in Canada now but I don’t think it has quite the same hype as Boxing Day. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving!

Although, this thread at this time of morning for those on the west coast may be more whose still up gleefully having fun ooorrrr, whose a masochist doing black Friday work or shopping LOL. 🙂
Those darn Canadians hijacked the Happy Thanksgiving thread back in October. 😉
I hope everybody on this side of the border had a happy, safe, and warm Thanksgiving yesterday.

Our Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving was a busy shopping day for as long as I can remember (back to the late 1950s) because many people were off work that day and were doing Christmas shopping.
Back then, I think the day after Thanksgiving marked the start of the Christmas retail season – that was when the stores put up their Christmas decorations. I don’t remember when the day after Thanksgiving was dubbed “Black Friday” and the promotions/merchandising/sales became so aggressive.
Happy Thanksgiving (belated a tad) to all my American friends !! Hope you all got stuffed…. with turkey! 😀

Actually the term ‘Black Friday’ referred to the fact that because of the Holiday sales, that was the day that stores were most likely to start to be ‘in the black’ (making profits) for the year.
I don’t know when the term started either, but I’m also really very disappointed that Thanksgiving Day has now become the beginning of the ‘Black Friday’ trend. Thanksgiving Day should be for FAMILY, not Shopping ’til you drop as it is slowing becoming.
