Why do we call it "Black" Friday?

Friendsgiving or also known as Thanksgiving in the USA is over and we begin the official holiday season starting with black friday.


Why do we call the Friday after Thanksgiving "black? One of the reasons that I found researching this was that merchants were finally out of the red financially and everything from that day would make a profit that was greatly needed. To entice people to come and do their Holiday shopping they would have many items on sale.

Another reason for the term "black" Friday was that many workers would use the day after Thanksgiving to call in sick which impacted retailers and other workforces, therefore it was referred to as Black Friday.

These are just a few of the reasons why we call it that now and the term has made international fame because other countries also kick off their holiday shopping with this day and call it the English term "Black Friday".

Most people also put out their Holiday decor the day after Thanksgiving. Kind of true for Second Life as well. The season has begun and you can see the stores all decorated and the sales started. If you are looking for some spectacular savings for Black Friday go check out this website that lists many of the stores in Second Life that have sales:  Seraphim
