It is not an official holiday; however, it is the most popular shopping day in the US. On Black Friday, US&nbsp;<strong>retailers<\/strong>&nbsp;offer special discounts to&nbsp;<strong>encourage<\/strong>&nbsp;people to begin their&nbsp;holiday&nbsp;shopping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retailers often open early on Black Friday. In fact, the opening times\u00a0seem to get earlier each year, and some stores open as early as\u00a0midnight. Serious shoppers camp out the night before to make sure\u00a0they are first in line for\u00a0<strong>big-ticket<\/strong>\u00a0items. Discounted electronics\u00a0are often only available in limited quantities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The term \u201cBlack Friday\u201d originated in the 1960s. Bus and taxi drivers\u00a0used the word \u201cblack\u201d to describe heavy\u00a0<strong>traffic<\/strong>\u00a0the day after\u00a0Thanksgiving. Retailers, on the other hand, had a different explanation. With holiday shopping\u00a0<strong>in full swing<\/strong>, their businesses were no longer\u00a0<strong>in the red<\/strong>. (Traditionally, red ink meant debt and black\u00a0ink meant\u00a0profit.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As Black Friday caught on, many Canadians began heading south for\u00a0<strong>cross-border<\/strong>\u00a0shopping. Canadian retailers had to offer special\u00a0<strong>deals<\/strong>\u00a0to keep shoppers in Canada. Likewise, retailers in other countries, including India, France, and Mexico, adopted Black Friday promotions to\u00a0<strong>jump-start<\/strong>\u00a0holiday shopping. In fact, these days, Black Friday is more of a season than a single shopping day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In some ways, Black Friday is the opposite of Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Day, people enjoy food with friends and family and express thanks for what they have. In contrast, Black Friday shoppers stand in long lines to buy things they don\u2019t need. Fights often break out, and some people have even been killed in\u00a0<strong>crowded<\/strong>\u00a0parking lots and malls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many people think Black Friday has taken the focus away from family during the holidays. Moreover, it encourages\u00a0<strong>consumerism<\/strong>\u00a0in a world that needs to be more\u00a0<strong>eco-conscious<\/strong>. Those who are against Black Friday can observe \u201cBuy Nothing Day\u201d instead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"_ti_tpc_template_sync":false,"_ti_tpc_template_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/udreamvisa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/udreamvisa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/udreamvisa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udreamvisa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udreamvisa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=457"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/udreamvisa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":458,"href":"https:\/\/udreamvisa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457\/revisions\/458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/udreamvisa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udreamvisa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udreamvisa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
