Black Friday 2023: It is the season of festivals. Thanksgiving is around the corner, and we cannot keep calm already. Every year, Thanksgiving and Black Friday are celebrated with a whole lot of pomp and grandeur all over the world. Thanksgiving focuses on fostering the sense of gratitude in us and appreciating our family and friends for their love and care, all along. People, on Thanksgiving, come together to have a special Thanksgiving meal together with their loved ones. The day after Thanksgiving is celebrated as Black Friday. This year, Black Friday falls on November 24. Black Friday is traditionally the busiest shopping day in the United States. Right after Thanksgiving, the shops open up for Christmas shopping. Lot of sale, discounts and other offers are provided by the shops on this day. Sometimes the offers even go on for a week.
The term black is usually associated with something unfortunate. However, due to the crowd on the day after Thanksgiving, usually people face a lot of traffic congestion. Around sometime in 1951 and 1952, the policemen of Philadelphia and Rochester started calling the day as Black Friday due to the traffic congestion and the crowd on the streets. Since then, the day has been named Black Friday.
