Black Friday is a holiday steeped deep in tradition since 1932. For Generations, the Friday after Thanksgiving had served as the official kick-off of the Christmas season, as retailers throughout the nation debuted their holiday decorations inside and outside their venues.
The day was highlighted by the arrival of Santa Claus, who would preside at the respective location, listening to children’s gift list wishes through Christmas Eve. This day became known as “Black Friday,” since it was the first day in the year when many retailers started to operate profitably in the “black.”
Today, as numerous online and brick and mortar retailers debut their holiday gift shops and decorations in early Fall, the Black Friday holiday has taken on new significance as a day for special deals and exceptional offers. What’s more, many retailers are now opening on Thanksgiving Day and evening to jump-start their Black Friday sales.
