What is Black Friday!!!

Introduction

        After all the turkey and football people start to prepare for the next day. People prepare what they are going to buy and all the sales and prices. People wait for hours or even days just to be first in line. Yup that is Black Friday. According to Wonderopolis, Black Friday is not an official holiday but it is very known through out America. It is made for showing it is the beginning of the holiday shopping season. People go crazy for the amazing sales. They go so early just to get special sales.

As you can see on Black Friday the stores are really crowded.

Why is it Called Black Friday???

Did you ever wonder why it is called black friday? Well from Wonderopolis I learned some thing about that. Bus drivers used to call it black friday because there was so much traffic. Thats how it was till buisnesses changed it. They made it so the "black" in black friday means they are making a lot of money. They also made it that red means that they are not making much money. That is one way people think the name Black Friday came to be.

My Opinion

       Black Friday is a really fun day, and I like to go shopping. I don't get to crazy about it. I don't really do much shopping on Black Friday because after watching a Youtube video, I learned that the stores get so crowded. I also know that from past experiences. Everybody is trying to get the good prices. I don't really like to go shopping when you can't take a step without bumping into someone. Some stores don't get too crowded so I sometimes go shopping there. I really like the holiday though. In my family we made it a tradition to put up our Christmas tree on that day instead of going shopping.
