Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season in the
United States. Many stores offer highly promoted sales at discounted
prices and often open early, sometimes as early as midnight or even on Thanksgiving.https://twitter.com/katie149123/status/1728089439245627698
Like many Americanisms, it has infested most of the world. Some greedy retailers run their "Black Friday Sale" until Monday (when it then
changes to "Cyber Monday Sale"), a whole week, or even a whole month.
Many of the so-called "deals" are quasi-scams with the "sale" price
being the same or higher than it was the previous week.
