The day got the name Black Friday because it was so often the first day in the year when store revenues flipped from being in the red to being in the black; the sales from the day often were a store's only chance to begin to make a profit for the year. |

The stock market crash was Black Tuesday... and truthfully, MANY employees who work retail on Black Friday think of it as a huge disaster. It's the day they are forced to accept the worst excesses of human greed, right up to and including crowds trampling people to death just to get the latest geegaws for a cheap price. Black Friday is not for the faint of heart nor, many times, for the sane.

Ooh Bit I love your story of Thanksgiving through your ages. How fabulous. I'm so sorry you lost everything but so chuffed (very Brit for real happy) you found reason to give thanks no matter what. I guessed that Squanto is the party line...sanitized history in other words. Who's going to post links to the 'real' history for me?
