What is Black Friday?

(Halatihazira) Black Friday is actually a day after the U.S. Thanksgiving Holiday. This day itself is also a holiday for many employees.

On this day, sellers offer products with special shopping deals and great discounts. The day is considered the beginning of the holiday shopping season.

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the last Thursday of November. When in 1939, five-Thursday November passed, business leaders asked President Franklin D. Roosevelt to move the holiday back a week so that the holiday shopping season could start earlier.
