Journal 8

Black Friday makes people exciting, so I will give some introduction about this day. Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. The term dates back to at least 1966, although its usage was primarily on the East coast. The term has become more common in other parts of the country since 2000. Because Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday occurs between the 23rd and the 29th of November. According to Reuters, in 2007 135 million people participated in the Black Friday shopping rush.


Black Friday is the best day for shopping in the whole year, because there are lots of sale products, so people usually to go shopping earlier on that day. And I also went to the Mall of America for shopping with my friend. When I came to mall, I have never saw lots of people in there before. I can feel all of the people very happen to go shopping, and to purchase the products that they like. Actually, I do not think there are many big sales on that day. If you went to outlet, you can find lots of cheaper products than mall of America’s. ☺
