Something about black Friday.

What is this?

Black Friday it's a name of the first Friday after The Thanksgiving Day. 

It's a day when shops are extremely reducing the prize of their products, it's also kinda an inauguration of the frenzy Christmas shopping season. A few years ago, this special Friday was known only in America or Great Britain, but now it starts to spread in the whole Europe, including Poland. During this day people can do everything to get whatever they want for the least prize. 

They are able to stuck many hours in uncommonly long queues or even overnight in front of the shopping centre to get what they want, before it will be sold out. Pretty crazy, isn't it? ;p 

You can see it below. 

Before and after

Many sources tell that the term "black Friday" was used first in 1975 to refer the losses and profits after The Thanksgiving Day. Profits were written in black ink and losses were written in red ink. 

That year many of sellers had gained much more profits than losses because of uncommon traffic in their shops. Nowadays we can see that it' s kinda extra consumerism holiday that really gives a huge amount of profits to the biggest companies in the world

My opinion

Black Friday is a very specific day, that people (especially from Europe) can perceive in very different ways. After all these crazy people fighting, anyway I find that it's nice occasion to buy something for an extra low price, but if only you'll keep the restraint and self control ;) 
Sometimes we just need to get crazy and buy something that we want to, but we need to be serious and remember that it's only the sale and only another Black Friday Day :)
