BLACK FRIDAY, CONSIDERED TO BE THE BUSIEST SHOPPING DAY OF THE YEAR, HAS ITS ROOTS IN PHILADELPHIA, PA IN THE EARLY 60'S. THE TERM WAS USED TO DESCRIBE THE HEAVY & DISRUPTIVE PEDESTRIAN & VEHICLE TRAFFIC THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING.
THROUGH THE YEARS HOWEVER, THE ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATION OR DESCRIPTION OF BLACK FRIDAY HAS BEEN USED TO INDICATE THE PROFIT RETAILERS MAKE FROM THE AMOUNT OF SALES. THEY ARE NO LONGER IN "THE RED", BUT CONSIDERED TO BE IN "THE BLACK".
TO KICK OFF THE SHOPPING SEASON, MANY STORES WILL EITHER OPEN AS EARLY AS 8 P.M. ON THANKSGIVING, OR VERY EARLY ON FRIDAY, SOME AS EARLY AS 12 A.M. PERSONALLY, I HAVE NEVER BEEN A FAN OF SHOPPING ON BLACK FRIDAY. YOU COULDN'T DRAG ME TO THE STORES. THE TRAFFIC ON THE ROADS, THE CROWDED STORES, & THE PEOPLE PUSHING & SHOVING ALL MAKE FOR A VERY UNPLEASANT & STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE.
MY RECOMMENDATION - ONLINE SHOPPING! AND ABE'S MARKET HAS ORGANIC & NATURAL GIFTS FOR EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST.
ABE'S MARKET ALSO OFFERS FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OF $49 & OVER UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR. FROM 11/21 UNTIL 11/25 THEY HAVE 50+ brands on sale for 25% OFF.
START SHOPPING TODAY THE HASSLE-FREE WAY FOR GREAT ORGANIC & NATURAL GIFTS.
