Black Friday 2022

So the day after Thanksgiving kicks off the traditional first day of the Chistmas shopping season.

The day is replete with alleged special reduced prices from most of the retailers.

Referred to as Black Friday; the term term is likely derived from the proposition that businesses operate at a financial loss, i.e., 'in the red' until the day after Thanksgiving, when massive sales finally allow them to turn a profit, or put them 'in the black'.

The terms clearance, discount, reduction, and sale characterize the day.

Me, I'm staying home. Anymore cash in a Christmas card suffices quite nicely for me, my vendors, and significant others.

I get to feel generous and they get to have a nice lunch or beverage of their choice on me.

Happy Black Friday to you if you choose to join the fray !

Yawn.
