This is the Friday immediately after Thanksgiving Day and is called "Black Friday" in a reference by retailers as the start of the holiday shopping season.

We don't really know the who or the wherefore or the why — only that it may be a reference to congested traffic or the shift of retailer accounting from the red to the black.

The draw is said to be "deals". Lots of savings to be had; you know — the usual retail attempts at attraction. Can it be that we're all that gullible in the end?

However, if you have an item in mind, as I did a few years back by all means go for it ! My item is sitting around unused presently and perhaps yours will fare better.

Anyway, happy Black Friday to you !
