Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, marking the start of the holiday shopping season. On this day, many retailers offer significant discounts and promotions, attracting millions of shoppers looking for great deals. The name "Black Friday" comes from the idea that stores go from being in the red (losing money) to being in the black (making a profit) due to the high volume of sales. Shoppers often line up early in the morning or even camp out overnight to snag the best bargains on items like electronics, clothing, and toys. While it can be exciting, Black Friday can also lead to crowded stores and intense competition among shoppers.
